5hp b&s flywheel puller

[dunn designz]

where can i get a good flywheel puller for a briggs and stratton 5hp motor

A screwdriver and a dead blow hammer.

 

[Doc Sprocket]

A piece of 2X4 and a mallet.

just pry on the flywheel with a big screwdriver and hit the shaft with a mallet or hammer and 2x4

Note that you don't really need to pry hard, only enough to take up end play and then a touch more. Let the dead blow do the work.

I usually take a piece of kenneling and my hammer and give it a few good smacks

 

[Doc Sprocket]

Kenneling? What's that?

 

[solomon]

I use a flywheel knocker. It is hollow about half way down and has soft brass at the very bottom, this way you dont knick up the edge of your crankshaft. You just lightly hit it with a hammer and the flywheel pops loose. You can pick one up at your lawnmower shop (or online) for about $3.

Happy Carting!

A brass hammer will not damage the crank, at least I never have.

I did not know what a "dead blow hammer" was, I just googled it. yup that sounds like it will work too.

My father recently inherited one that must have a head in excess of 5 lbs, plus the steel handle. In most cases you just pick it up and let gravity do the work.
