"Whoops, I just read another thread where you asked this question and you received an answer. It appears that I was wrong about having to use a puller on this motor so this is an apology along with a correction for what I wrote below because I hit the POST button and put the wrong info into many peoples inbox. So, please disregard the following:
You will need a wheel puller. They sell steering wheel pullers at auto parts stores. Most of the time though the flywheel is stuck on pretty good because it is on a tapered shaft with a key so you had better have a puller of good quality. I always leave the nut loosely threaded on the crankshaft so that when the flywheel breaks loose, it won't shoot off and hit me in the face. I have had flywheels, along with my puller, travel a good distance when I neglected to leave the nut threaded on. This is truely a job when safety glasses are VERY important too. Good luck."
