How to remove flywheel?

[spudkilla224]

Hello everyone, I'm in the process of ripping apart a 5hp briggs&stratton and I have removed the starter clutch so far, how do i remove the flywheel without a impact wrench? Also how does the key come out of the flywheel?

Also how does the key come out of the flywheel?

Once flywheel is removed it will just fall out.

how do i remove the flywheel without a impact wrench?

Give it a rap with a 2x4 and a mallet on the outer edge of fins. Should just fall off after a couple of attempts.

Impact wrench is to remove the starter clutch, just(CAREFULLY) pry on the flywheel and give the crankshaft a good smack with a soft faced deadblow hammer.

Don't pry...EVER!!!
But its done, apparently.

YOUR comment not the original post

 

[Russ2251]

I know what you meant.
Never mind...it's too late.

 

[1992suburban]

then why play dumb?

 

[Russ2251]

Excuse me?
I would suggest not taking this any further.
Not only is this uncalled for, but is off topic.
Perhaps my fault.

i pull on the flywheel by hand and give the crank a whack. its a good idea to put a nut on it flush with the end so you dont mess up the threads

 

[Doc Sprocket]

It is always good practise to put a nut over threads that are being threatened with a hammer. That said, you should be using soft-faced mallets for this kind of thing.
