Did a search on Google:  http://www.steahlyoffroad.com/index.html

Most of the Stealthy flywheel weights are threaded (some are welded).  You should just abe able to remove the outer nut and unscrew the flywheel weight.

Try turning the bolt the "wrong" way. Purty sure they're reverse threads on most bikes. Were you the one who put it on?

My stealhy wieght replaces the normal flywheel nut. There are four set screws on the outside edge that bite into the flywheel, loosen them up but do not take them out since the threaded holes are staked. On the face of the wieght there should be two threaded holes, you can make a plate that will bolt to these holes with a cheap socket welded on the middle, or you can call stealhy and get their tool.

I really didnt care for the stealhy tool as it is, the flat plate if bolted tight to the flywheel does not really give your 1/2 drive tool a good bite so I took a short cheap extension welded it to the plate and ground off the excess sticking through. The stock tool is adequate for limited use but since I am constantly zipping mine off and on with an impact gun the square hole was starting to round out.

let us know who the removal of your weight makes your bike run so everyone can get a better idea of what adding a weight will do for their bike in certain situation.

I use an air gun. I wouldnt use a rag stuffed in thru the exhaust port I would rather feed a few inches of rope thru the spark plug hole . I once had a problem with a rope wedging itself in between the piston and exhaust port so do make sure the exhaust port is just closed with the piston, then feed the rope in.

My tool of choice would be a 3/8" air impact gun. I have heard of feeding/ stuffing a pencil sized rope thru the spark plug hole in order to lock the crank/ piston. Want to sell that weight? what year is it for?

I just used my impact wrench naaaa I don't want to sell it I just needed to remove it so I could split the cases. thanks for the help guys
