Default RE: Where can I buy Solo cylinder/piston???

edit: the bolt on the fly wheel side is also on turns the same way so you cant use it as leverage to unscrew the bolt on the clutch side,the flywheel and clutch carrier are bolted onto a tapered crankshaft so even if you do manage to get the bolts out you still need a puller to remove them from crank as they will not budge even with bolts removed.to stop the engine from turning you just remove the sparkplug and screw in the alloy piston stop and thats it locked up - much easier to work on,all the fg tools you need is around £30 which is nothing in comparison of the model price - or even how much your lhs would charge for doing a small engine repair.
