I haven't taken out a flywheel, but if you must use some kind of force on it, use a rubber malet, that shouldn't damage anything.

damn, what kind of flywheel, that sucks stock ones come off like nothing, rubber mallet is your best idea, possibly pry from 2 diff sides at once (not really a great idea tho).

Try this.. Heat. in the form of a blow torch and not a lighter. Heat the entire flywheel slowly. The heat will expand the flywheel enough to get it off the crank but be sure to use thick gloves. Be carefulbecause the fly might just decide to fall off.

actually, since it is aluminum, excessive haet, can and will warp it, do not use heat, i suggest you use a rubber mallet and hit it, kinda hard, in a criss-cross motion on the flywheel, similar in patter to tightening lugnuts

well i tried BEATING it w/a rubber mallet...nothing so i just went ahead and heated it like i have done to crank pullys, not too much but enough. it took a good bit of heat AND hitting it w/the mallet...but its off and it doesn't look warped, but i will have it checked when it is resurfaced

cm flywheels use replaceable plates. you don't resurface them.

doubt you warped the flywheel.

well how much does a new plate cost? i cant even resurface a real tiny layer, there is hardly any where, i can barly feel a little wear on it. i only put 10k at the most on it
