removing flywheel nut

[lorinlewis23]

I am having trouble removing the flywheel nut on my engine. Also do i need a puller to remove the flywheel.

The glow plug wrench should be the same size as the clutch nut.
I used a large flat head screw driver to carefully loosen the flywheel. You can also tap it lightly from behind till it pops off.

It works even better if you use 2 flatheads, one on eash side and pry evenly

 

[Keithv]

Ahh, thats a good point savageman

Just get a puller. There are plenty out there, and once you have one you'll wonder why you didn't get one sooner.

I will go get one today. I have another question? I am planning to fill my crank how deep do you go if you want to open it up with a 1/2" drill bit?

I use a battery terminal puller...This one:

The arms are thin enough to fit under the flywheel. Works great!

Got one from NAPA today, The flywheel popped off easily with a loud crack. Now I can port and polish the crank and drill it out to add fill. Is the gasket for the front seal supposed to be attached to the flywheel, When I removed the flywheel I was able to see the balls in the front bearings.

no, replace that

 

[lorinlewis23]

no, replace that

Where can i get one . I have searched the net and cant find any.
