Puller is ok but you need an air impact or you won't get it off. Look at this video on a 700 engine in a dune buggy. Similar to the 500 and shows how snug flywheels are on these tapered shafts.Need that air impact. Look starting at the 2:45 mark.

Yup - torque wrench is the only way to get the flywheel nut off. Popped right off.
Back in business - just need to wait for the top end kit to arrive, along with some other parts like the chain. Need to finish the engine disassembly, and can then start to put it all back together again. Hoping for no more surprises.... |
Always expect the unexpected. Read the manual slowly and follow each step.

For one thing thread the bolts a little deeper into the flywheel without touching the stator. You can get a grade 8 8mm flange bolt at most hardware stores to replace the broken one.

While you have pressure on the flywheel,apply a little heat from a propane torch around the crank shaft area then use an air impact like shown in the video I posted. If you have enough pressure on the puller sometimes heat alone will cause a flywheel to pop right off. Plus looks like you have the flat piece on the puller. Remove it to where you have the tapered end of the puller bolt against the shaft.

Sorry - I meant impact wrench, not torque wrench. Will try this soon.
