Attempting to change my starter clutch however, the flywheel won't budge.
OK so, I took the centre flywheel bolt out and inserted the puller's pointy end into the cavity below the washers, so I surmise (hope) I have it against the end of the main shaft. I have the puller tightened up pretty good. I am applying heat with a 1200 watt electric paint stripping heat gun, whacking the f/w with a mallet but it isn't shifting.
To tighten the puller, I am levering with a steel bar about 24 inches long in one hand and a piece of iron pipe extending the wrench handle out to about 15 inches in the other. I have pushed this combo till its just about as tight as I can get it, so the puller is pretty tight.
I have been playing the heat into the centre of the f/w trying to be even with it around the f/w.
Any thing else I need to know?
Is 1200 Watts enough heat, or should I break out the flame?
Thanks,
Brian H.
