Special Tools Required

[cyphertext69]

Does anyone have a good suggestion as to how to get the Rotor off this without the special tool "rotor holder?"

I have the rotor puller but I don't have the other special tools, ie: case splitter or the rotor holder.

i am trying to split my cases so I can inspect for any pieces of a broken piston. Thanks.

Thanks.

Well...

I have found that I use a good grip and tighten the flywheel puller as much as I can. Them a few gentle taps, tighten again a few more taps and they usually come right off. If not, a basket strainer wrench at the HD or Lowes is like $7 and can be ground down to work fine.

I was talking about how to get the nut off, I think you have to put the flywheel puller on after you get the nut off, right?

oh, oop

I use an impact and never had an issue. You can try wedging a penny in the drive gear and see if that helps enough to get it loose. I have pulled them through the gears before, though. May want to get the wrench.

Makes a mess outta the penny, so make sure if it starts to eat it you pull it all the way through or back. The penny won't hurt the gears or shafts.

That's not a bad idea...I will try that and see what happens.
