  Ken.

 I have used my NWSL wheel puller to pull fly wheels off. I don't have the number but it is the box like one that came with a couple different pusher screws and the V cut plate. Match the screw with the motor shaft diameter and you should be good.

 Pete, I was on there site and it as well was listed as a gear puller as well, looked like the same thing Micro Marks has.

Good luck with your project there Ken, years ago I tried to remove the flywheels from a Proto motor that had been in one of the FA-1s. I started out gently but ended up chucking that *** thing in the vise and trying to pull it off with vise-grip pliers.

I finally gave up at the point where I figured I was either going to hurt myself or just end up ruining the motor.

I don't know how they have those attached but I don't think they are intended to be removed.

Same here!  They are secured much tighter than the BB's.

Flywheel Puller?
Posted by cudaken on Sunday, January 23, 2011 6:41 PM

  Need a flywheel puller and cannot seem to find one. Micro Marks has a Gear / Wheel puller that looks like the picture I seen of one. Will the Gear Puller they sale pull off Flywheels?

 When I was re-motoring my old Blue Boxes getting the flywheels off was pretty easy. I am getting ready to do some Proto's and they are not coming off. Don't want to throw them out of balances.

 I know how to make one, but with not having a welder or the time I rather buy one.

 Thanks for the coming answers!
