FLYWHEEL HOLDING TOOL
A flywheel holding tool can be made out of an old junk
flywheel ring gear and used in place of a strap wrench.
1. Using an abrasive cut-off wheel, cut out a six tooth
segment of ring gear as shown.
2. Grind off any burrs or sharp edges.
3. Invert segment and place it between ignition bosses
on crankcase so tool teeth engage flywheel ring
gear teeth. Bosses will lock tool and flywheel in
position for loosening, tightening, or removing with a
puller.
