SOHC Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 I am trying to get a flywheel off a 17 HP industrial engine, its on a key and tapper, it has x3 8mm threaded holes I tried using a harmonic balancer puller on but it bent, I have heated it and hit it with a hammer. but its really stuck, Can anyone recommend a place I could take it to or have some hydraulic puller?

JoKer Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 watched a neat vid on penetrating oil the other day (youtube) might be worth a look time set to start at the 'results' just hit play for the tl:dr version 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOHC Posted September 17, 2018 Author Share Posted September 17, 2018 The problem with the morse tapper that its totally sealed and no oil can get down there. I took it into a shop today and they couldn't get it off but then went to an oldschool machinist who made a jacking plate, I will finish that off tonight and he has a hydo puller thing, and if that dosnt work we need to make a more elaborate device, I am really getting sick of this.

Valiant Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Bit of heat. Load it up. More heat. Belt the shaft of the puller. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajg193 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Remove bolts. Put gearbox back on, install starter motor. Start engine. Rev until it falls off and goes through the bellhousing and firewall. ???? Profit 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
