How do you guys pull your flywheel btw? I put my hand or a wrench behind it, apply some slight pressure and tap on the crank shaft (with a bolt on it of course). Is this bad, i never drop my flywheels or smack them

 

[Kaptain Krunch]

Flywheel puller is best.

 

[solomon]

I figured they were just a waste of money

Not at all, they make everything easier. Much better to have the right tools.

[solomon]

[freakboy]

[solomon]

Care to share your secret strategy?

No secret. Some manuals call it out.
A thousand words follows (forgive the artistry):

 

[solomon]

Thats exactly how i do it! but i leave the nut on a few threads just to play it safe. Feels good know I'm not the only one doing it this way.

 

[Russ2251]

Hit fins face on so that they don't break!!!

 

[Doc Sprocket]

Aww, man! I thought there was going to be some kind of voodoo here! Well, I guess my mallet is not alone!

 

[Russ2251]

No voodoo...no wheel pullers.
