Husky 51 flywheel removal

[Butcher]

I need to replace 1 of the recoil pawls on my 51. None of my 3 jaw pullers will fit the flywheel to remove it. I'm sure there is probably a special puller for the job but not sure were to look to find 1. I could probably make 1 myself if I at least had a picture to go off of. Any ideas? Thanks.

Butcher, where the hell have ya been all summer? I have used some "less-than-conventional" methods to take flywheels off of saws before, some of them a little "risky" to the saw. Have you checked over on AS site?

Found this one on ebay: (broken link removed to http://www.ebay.com/itm/Universal-Flywheel-Puller-for-Snowmobile-Jet-Ski-Chain-Saw-Lawn-Mower-Motorcycle-/271050586887?pt=Personal_Watercraft_Parts&hash=item3f1bdfbb07&vxp=mtr)

Might be your best bet. Nice thing about this puller is you can use it for any other small engine stuff you may work on in the future. It's universal.

I guess all I had to do was a google search to find out how to do it. Flywheels off. Kinda a scary moment tho. Somethin bout hittin 1 of my saws with a hammer that scares me.

Been busy with work fighten this damned drought and heat we've had. Lotsa time in the garden too. I ended up useing a hammer and a pliers aproach. Not a good meathod for the faint of heart tho.

Like I said, I too have done the "unconventional" method of removal. I didn't want to suggest that one, but I see you've found it anyway! Glad your saw survived! Good to see you back on Hearth.com.
