need a flywheel puller.

you need a flywheel puller, a special tool.

 

[ducar.r.spec]

2 scewdrivers and a nylon mallet
get sum1 to put the screwdrivers each side of the magneto and put weight on it
then tap the crankshaft with the mallet
leave the bolt on a few threads until the flywheel(magneto) comes loose

good luck with durcars fix

get a flywheel puller and use the correct tool that pulls from the thread in the center of the flywheel

not a cheap assed 1 from super crappy tools that grips from the outside

use the correct tool and you'll find it easy (now where have i heard that b4)

ok thanks for that, we tried using a gear puller and that didnt work lol. so a flywheel puller is what ill have to get.

Use a proper puller that screws into the thread on the centre hub of the flywheel . Gear pullers and the screw driver idea are rough and can potentially cause damage to the flywheel ie warp or bend it out of balance ..... not to mention screw driver damage to the cases . DO NOT hit any flywheel with a hammer because it can shatter or dislodge the magnets and put it out of balance as well ...... EVEN inner rotor flywheels can be damaged by using a gear puller ..... that's why ALL flywheels have the screw threads manufactured into them to suit the appropriate removal tool .

Damaged flywheels can also fly apart at high revs causing injury to the rider and harmonic vibrations from out of balance can eventually cause the crank shaft to break ........

yer do what cactus jack said get a puller

 

[marfia]

if you do not have a puller take your bike or motor to a bike shop they will take it of for you

 

[$heepy]

but then they charge you a bit for labour

 

[Hillz]

nar a good bike shop should do it for free to $20

 

[SnItChY]

dont no of any that work on chinny mini's lol

 

[Sidney]

yeah don't take it to honda because they won't do it

 

[Hillz]

my bad for not being clear.... take it to a motorcycle workshop (ie a bike repair guy) he will have a wide range of pullers ...... not a Flashy dealer

ok sweet as thanks for that, we are taking it into dads friend who is a mechanic and he's gonna do it for us.
