if i am not mistaken, there is a nut behind the clutch, i held a wrench there and one on the fluwheel and it eventually came off, then i whacked the flywheel off with a hammer(mine was tuck perrty good) its not the most reformed way, but it works.( the nut is usually in the center that the clutch shoes go around, it should be black.)

flywheels are a pain in the butt to get off!!! what i did was take a flat head screw driver, try popping it off, if that doesnt work, use a hammer!!!!

well, i have never gotten a flywheel off. they are a pain in the but. you may need to buy a piston lock to get it tight so the nut will move.

It would help if you were a little more descriptive as to the problem you are having. Most have a pilot shaft that must be removed with a wrench. I usually use a rag wrapped around the flywheel to hold it while I loosen and tighten it.

Several companies do also make a tool that will hold the flywheel but I have never needed one.

After removal of the pilot shaft the flywheel may be stubborn to come off, I use a screw driver between the case bearing and the flywheel, be very careful and only apply slight pressure at various points and it will come off easily. Again make sure to use very little pressure so as you do not damage the engine case or the bearing.
I have used this method for many years and never damaged anything or had a flywheel that would not budge.

There are small tools called pullers that you can buy that will snatch it right off the shaft, again I have never needed one but they make the job painless.
