I finally got the damn flywheel nut off, but now I can't find the right kind of tools to "pull" the flywheel off. Can somebody out there give any suggestions. Are there any members of the forum who have a puller I can buy or use? I'm in Salt Lake City, Utah and don't want to have to pack the engine to a Dealership.

getting the nut off should have been the hardest part. give the flywheel a couple wacks on the inside edge with a RUBBER HAMMER, it should help it come out a little. at least thats my recolation of how i did it before

yah put the but on a couple threads and smack the flywheel with a hammer

I should hit it on the inside edge? You mean hit it towards the engine? I can't get anything between the engine case and the flywheel.
|
it doesnt matter which way you hit it, it just needs to jump off the taper fit. you need the nut on a couple threads otherwise the flywheel will attack your feet

i wacked mine a few times with a block of firewood. popped off in two seconds https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

Thanks alot guys. I had no idea it was a tapered fit. If all goes well, I'll have the engine the rest of the way apart over the weekend.

I eased mine off with a prybar and a few blows with the hammer. I must say its definitely easier to remove when out of the car. If you are putting a new clutch in you might as well have it resurfaced, should cost around 20 bucks at Napa or the machine shop.
