Ok so it's not all that bad but I wasn't paying good attention to where the camera frame was so there are some awful shots. I shot this one with the iPhone and I much prefer to use the Sony.
So that's how you get those flywheels off, figured there had to be the right tool for that. I've been removing all mine with a two armed puller. Ground the tips a little to get it to fit on the saws. I've had to put so much pressure on that type of a puller that I've often worried about warping the flywheels pulling on the two opposite sides of it!
Great vid MM, I just split my first case (034 junker) with a C-shaped case splitter used for Huskys. It worked great! I wish I had watched this vid prior to, those darn pins slowed me down haha.
Now thats some detail. Thats a video that I needed to see and finally took the time to watch it all. Good video. Ball park what do each of those tools cost??
More than the average weekend hack (That's me! ) would invest in a handful of saw projects. They list at well over $400 together. Even at my cost, (I am NOT a dealer), I could have bought a lot of other shiny tools.
I knew they were pricey. I figure if I ever wanted that done I would ship it off somewhere or take the stripped case to a shop.
Hey, yeah! You could do that...... No. I have the seal puller tool (also $$) as well. Some saws you can get away with not using it but the flywheel side is a pain without it.
No, you can do it with other tools being very careful not to damage the crank/case surfaces (see my recent post about problems with my 038, photo of removing the seals there). However, after doing a few this way I was going to check out the cost of the tool!
Yikes MM, that's serious dough, didn't figure it would be that high. I've got a dozen other things that would be in line before that tool then. Guess I'll have to keep using my method on the infrequent one I do. I realize that I have probably just been lucky so far that I have not messed one up!
