[QUOTE="podfish, post: 1312897, member: 77606"] I'm starting to pull the flywheel so I can replace the stator coils on an 86 KDX 200. There's a bit of sign of corrosion on the outer flywheel (it's not shiny, a lot of the outer rotor has a dull whitish layer on it). A long time ago when pulling a flywheel off a Honda I found out too late that I was missing the trick, so I want to avoid it here! On the Honda, the puller screwed into the flywheel hub and you turned the center screw in till it pulled. No matter how hard I turned it, even with a breaker bar, it wouldn't budge. At least until I unscrewed the puller - at which point the rotor fell off in my hand. The tension of the puller kept it from coming loose, but not till I'd damaged the end of the crankshaft! So I want to avoid that here. I'm using a steering-wheel puller (center hole for the puller rod, 120' spaced slots for the screws that hold it to the flywheel). This seems to work fine on the KDX since there are three tapped holes on the rotor. But when I torque it pretty hard, it doesn't budge. So any advice? Should I just muscle up till it comes loose or should it respond to gentler nudges? As I type, I've left it sitting with some penetrating oil to soak around the crank, but I don't know if that'll help much. [/QUOTE]
