Any help appreciated.

There is a Mini section on PH, or try Turbominis.co.uk

Although for sake of £25...it can still be handy to have.

And if it's a verto style setup....the puller could be pulling for a day or 2. Those flywheels can really really be tight to get off ( even to the extend I've had to cut some off )

Thank you Stevie,I was thinking along similar lines.

Going back to the late seventies when I worked for a BL dealer we never used a flywheel puller, starter motor out and a big drift onto the back of the flywheel, a couple of smacks with a heavy hammer normally shocked them of the taper.

The older flywheels usually come off quite easily.

vertos...you'll have the puller pulling like fk, and bashing through the starter hole with a huge hammer.

You may be incredibly lucky if it hasnt been together too long, but if it has, they really can get stuck on.

With Verto's you have to be certain it's 100% aligned on the puller, slightly out and they wedge into the crank and won't budge.

Doesn't help that some work themselves loose and weld the flywheel to the crank.
