[QUOTE="joefur, post: 393285, member: 18179"] I was planning to spend the weekend and do a nice and easy replace of points coils etc. You'd think you'd just pull the flywheel off and away you go. I read the manual, said I need a couple of OMC "special" tools, I figured ya I'll figure it out.... I could have got by with a strap wrench on the flywheel but NO, you cant buy a strap wrench in this town. So I jury rigged one that actually worked but I'd have gladly paid the $13 for one on line a week ago and saved the immense aggravation. Lesson learned, no point in reading the manual if you're not going to follow it. One caveat though, the OMC tool for holding the flywheel is a "C" type wrench that NEVER would've held. That nut was crazy tight. Anyway, I cant get that flywheel off for nothing. I'm snapping bolts in the puller, putting fire to it, tapping it gently, and nothing so far. I've called it a night and its sitting with PB penetrating oil. The bolts are 1/4" inch, my next step is tapping out for 5/16" and see if I can wrench until it pops. Other option is a 3 prong hook type puller but its tight and warping is a concern. Any advice? [/QUOTE]
