"1990 Evinrude 70HP, I need to remove the flywheel. I thought I was good to go but I've encountered problems. The nut has been removed, 5/16" Grade 5 fine thread bolts used in the factory holes and a triangular puller (was brand new) with an air gun and I figured away we go, no. The thing is on there tight. The puller failed (split) the triangular base where the 1/2 threaded shaft goes through. Any hits or tips on how to get it off? Is it safe to use a torch or would that possibly hurt the stator? Please help!
Thanks, Jeff"
