How to remove flywheel?

[N.RotaryTech]

If this is the first time the flywheel has been taken off the engine since the factory...
There are 2 issues.
#1 getting the flywheel nut loose.
#2 getting the flywheel off the e-shaft.

With getting the Nut loose, there have been many tales of different ways to do it. All of which aren't a bad way to do it. If you can get it off that way, great.
In my experience, I've had someone stand on the engine while I hit a breaker-bar (that's attached to the 2&1/4" socket) with a BFH.

Then once you get the nut off, you might be surprised that the flywheel won't just pull off. So what I have done is hit the edges with a BFH, working it around in a cross pattern. You can use a peace of wood between the flywheel and BFH if your concerned with damage to the flywheel surface. After that it should pull off.


Just putting my 2 cents in.
