Sometimes you just got to admit how stupid you were. The Onan flywheel comes off quite easy...really!
I made a really nice puller plate for the flywheel. Slotted holes the works, it fits perfectly. Then I welded a 3/4" nut to the center and my big hex bolt went through the threads ever so smoothly. Then I thought...why take a chance marring up the end of the crank shaft. I cut a 1 1/2' plug out of a sheet of .25 plate. Only one problem...the plug contacts the flywheel in the recess...not the crankshaft. Even a Marine can figure out that something just is not right. When I put the bolt on the lathe and beveled the edge so that it would mate to the end of the crankshaft and got rid of the plug...pop goes the flywheel. Lesson learned...make tools that work.
