This is my first time posting so here goes. Ineed to know how to remove a fly wheel from a tecumsah motor. The motor is on a craftsman walk behind weed eater. any help would be appreciated , also if you need more info let me know :thumbsup:

buy a flywheel puller made for it, other ways by prying and hitting on it, will produce the same thing, but can crack the case, or the flywheel if not careful

thanks for the help again I placed a 2x4 under the filywheel and tapped it lightly and it came loose. thanks for the help again.

What's a flywheel puller? :p

I've always used the ol' pry bar and soft face hammer trick. Just loosen up the bolt/nut on the flywheel, pry up a bit on the flywheel and give the bolt/nut a tap with the hammer. Rotate the engine a 1/4 turn and repeat.

The same trick works on 2 cycle equipment, but you have to pry up on the flywheel with a screw driver right where the flywheel key sits. When you do this, a single blow from a hammer will make it come right off.

well, more safer way, of course i do myself pry at it and hammer it, a briggs case is alot more stronger then a tec.
