where you located? if your close to here i'll let ya borrow my puller. oh and your going to need a way to hold the flywheel OR.. use an impact to loosen the nut.. some guys have good luck with a strap wrench around the flywheel.. i have tried it and it didnt; work for me at all but i have seen people get it done.. i built a tool to hold the flywheel. mines built for banshees though. it holds by the holes on the face of the flywheel..
if u have the plug in shouldnt be any prob zapppin that sucker off...and as stated unless u are really lucky and already sheared the woodruff key then it maw be loose..otherwise invest the moneyy....
Did you machine the tool from some metal stock? I figure that could probably be done or just go and buy a spanner wrench that fits. I think that's the proper name for this type of tool. When I took my bolt off, I did it the WRONG way and stuck a wedge in between two gears to hold the flywheel. It worked though.
with an impact you may be right.. when i mentioned the tool to hold the flywheel i was talking about doing it without an impact..
JUST pull the clutch cover off and stick ur finger between the crank and balancer gear. And if u have a specialty nut and bolt place by ur house u can maybe find a bolt that will thread into the flywheel..drill and tap a 1/2 hole in the center stick u a bolt in it and there is ur tool..but much easier to buy..
OHHHHH ya....reverse...buy a tool...i remember we made one for a polaris predator...actuaally the dude at the machine shop did...but he cut threads on lathe or something...well take the nut off and maybe u get lucky...y are u taking it off anyway>
you're definately better off just paying for the flywheel puller. And when I took mine off, the puller has a bolt with I believe a 16mm hex head on it, and a 21mm place to hold the flywheel. I let the 21 rest against my footpeg while I crnaked on the bolt and the footpeg held it great...never thought of a strap wrench but this way seemed easiest.
