Bas*%$d flywheel :censored:

Any ideas how to get the flywheel off this metro engine I bought?

So far broken 1 flywheel puller, now stripped the threads out of the flywheel where it bolts into

Considering trying to re-tap a bigger hole then trying to get a bolt into it, or weld the current on in, any other ideas?

Coming very close to torching it but after opening it up it seems the engine may of had a recent rebuild so that’s what’s stopping me.

I have a blowtorch but the threads came out before I could use it

I do have a plan though, I think I’ll get a threaded bar, wind it into the hole, then weld it to the flywheel, then put a nut down it, then weld that to the flywheel as well, hopefully that should hold!

Yeah the bolt is out, as is the locking key.

Oh well, means I’ll by driving the Griff to work for another week

Finally I got the flywheel off, got it extremely tight then hit it in various places with a club hammer , so now that its off I’ll change the oil seal an put in all back together with the mini clutch, then dump it in the car. Hopefully back on the road by the end of the weekend
