Hi, I started the day with the false imprecation that taking the flywheel off of a SBC and replacing the G50 adaptor plate and starter with an adaptor and starter for my 996 box would be easy, not so!!
Having tried various pullers, shovers and levers it still remains in place, anyone got any good ideas....please

Yes Steve bolts are out, it's moved 1/8" but no more. Will try again tomorrow.

Well I've tried again and still no movement, I've reset the flywheel and started again as suggested, I tried various pullers, I've heated it, sworn at it ...... so it must be time for Boosteds suggestion, soft pillows are to hand!!! One final thought is there a special puller I should be using and where is the ideal location for the puller?

Boosted, Winterslow is on the outskirts of Salisbury in Wiltshire.

IT'S OFF ..... At long last the flywheel is off. Made another puller that worked this time!
Many thanks for the thought Boosted and to all the others that gave advice and suggestions

Nothing that I could see, just a build up of crud I expect.
Still, Getrag Adaptor Plate, Starter and 996 Clutch now fitted, just waiting for the box to come back from Gbox in the US.
