Stuck Flywheels???

[Duce]

Ive had good luck with a modified two jaw puller and a brass hammer and a bit of patience. Tighten a bit, give it a whack, repeat. I try not to heat if i dont have to, dont wanna ruin pawl springs, also dont want to remove them if i dont have to haha

Mine is a cheap one. Can grind arms if needed.

Thats all i did, grind bottom of the feets. Can be tricky onsmall saws, but havent really had trouble on bigger ones

I like using heat and picking up the power head with a rope threaded behind the flywheel so the entire weight of the saw is on the flywheel. A couple whacks on the flywheel nut to protect threads they almost always come. Some harder than others.

Skip to the end for my puller that allows you to tap the lighter flywheel away from the heavier saw. Kinetic/static energy. ;-)
