Default Removing the flywheel :(

So i found a really great task there the other day, trying to remove the flywheel. So far i have had no luck whatsoever, i tried prying and tapping and then i bought a puller and i still cant get it :S any suggestions, does anyone have their own way of doing this?

it shouldnt be any problem with a puller. Just remove the nut and washer install puller and remove flywheel. Its really easy with an impact wrench.

yeah ill try the wrench tomorrow, but i used the puller with a normal rachet and the puller keeps wanting to move off the crank, the part that screws into the crank keeps trying to slip off, and eventually it does. I had it really tight and still nothing, is that weird? shouldnt it come off easy with a puller?

tighten the puller as much as you can without it slipping off. it shouldnt slip of anyways. but tighten it good and tap the puller and the flywheel with a small hammer. it should pop off

Yeah, the hammer trick definatly works. Once you break it loose it will come off easy.

alright. i tried tightening the puller really tight.. to the point where i thought it'd ruin the threads on the crank, then i tapped with a hammer, kept tightening and tapping, and still nothing :S maybe i should try heating it up or?

You are using the 'puller' which is actually just a large diameter fine thread bolt which threads into the flywheel and against the crank right?

Never hit the flywheel itself with a hammer!
