ok i have already broken 2 flywheel pullers trying to get my flywheel off my banshee, i have taken several off before with ease, but this one seems to be frozen on there. i dont want to use heat because it may screw up the stator wiring. someone told me to pop the end of the puller with a hammer but i am not sure what exactly to do about that one, any suggestions?

I have never done that for the flywheel but I have for other frozen bolts. It works just don't hit too hard.. I would agree with you on not using heat. Good luck...

I would listen to OhtonRacing. Sounds like you got a pretty stubborn one on.

I put the puller on, tighten it down, and tap the puller shaft with a hammer...if you clamp the puller down tight, don't stand in front of the flywheel, it'll come off in a hurry, and would hurt if it caught you in the leg.

ok this is prolly the wierdest thing that has happen be4, i wanted my flywheel off so i can try to see if there was a loose wire for my lights not working but i couldnt get the flywheel off like i normally do or like u all have told me, so i put it back on and decided to do without lights and just day ride for memorial day weekend in the dunes but when i started it JUST to check if they worked, THEY DID!!! so i guess all the tapping on the flywheel puller knocked something back into place, but after the dune ride i will have to see about getting it off, thank u all for the advice

blue_Banshee, you could also rewire the lights.. it would be much simpler.

Thanks for that info from snap-on. Yes we are talking about the same thing, I got mine at magic and it is a left handed thread with the same center piece to set the impact on.
