[QUOTE="dirt bike dave, post: 1313050, member: 18302"] I used a steering wheel puller to get the flywheel off my old '84 KDX when the stator failed. If I remember correctly, it took a fair amount of force before it popped off, to the point of bending the smaller bolts that were attaching the puller to the flywheel. When I say it popped, i mean it POPPED off. And I did mine when the bike was about 6 years old. Yours is over 20 years old! It is probably pretty well rusted in place. Soak it really good with penetrating oil. You can try tapping it with a rubber mallet when you start to torque the puller. Do not smash it sharply with a hammer as you can easily break the magnets off the inside the flywheel. Try to proctect the end of the crank as best you can by making sure you have as big a mating surface as possible between the bolt of your wheel puller and the crank end. If the steering wheel puller has a sharp point on the center bolt, you may want to grind it down. No doubt the factory flywheel service tool is preferred to a steering wheel puller, but it is hard to justify hauling a 20+ year old bike to and from the shop and paying an hour of shop time.
