Tip to remove OHV springs - teh oskar way

[freakboy]

well this is a vertical briggs and straton 20 horse and its being a really big pain in the ***.i have the pisons out if it didnt have the flywheel and the crank in it would be bare block. i already killed the flywheel nut trying to pry it with a chissel and hittin the nut with a hammer.

irwin makes some extractors for nuts, i usually see them at autozone. four or five sizes, you knock on the one you need then unscrew it. also, i think harbor freight sells a nut splitter if you have the room. vise grips?

the big three jaw with an impact gun are your best bet

That can damage the flywheel. Is there tap'd holes for a harmonic pulller?
