If there are threaded holes on the flywheel you can use a steering wheel puller. If not you need a special puller. You will need bolts that screw into the holes on the flywheel.
This is what I used to pull the flywheel of my Husky 2100, and the clutch off my 08s. I bought it from the auto parts store. You can get one from Advance Auto. They let you buy it/rent it for free and return it or you can keep it. Other auto parts store have them to.
I have the exact set #1. in the link. I had to modify the pullers bolt, cut off the tip so I could get it to fit with the short bolts I had.

That one may need the special puller that threads into the flywheel, I dont know
I'm trying to get the flywheel off on 045 right now and it just wont budge. I'm hitting it pretty hard dont want to overdue it. Its being stubborn,..

That one needs the special stihl puller, take it to a shop and have them remove it for you. If you try to pull it off without one, things could go bad.

Hit your local shop, toss the guy on the bench a $10 bill (called a tip), and be happy your not replacing a flywheel or crank.
Should only take a few minutes.
The proper puller costs around $22.

Don't hit it! The correct puller will have it off in seconds...

Sounds like a plan. I would hate to destroy a crank for a $10 visit to the shop. Is that puller only good for that saw?

I bought one from my Sthil dealer for less than $10.00. Tom

There's no way around a stihl puller. I've got two now, one for the 044/046 older 064, and one for the larger poly flywheel 066.
It's amazing how hard those flywheels lock on there. I've even had to use my impact wrench on my pullers twice now. Pretty much impossible to get it off without one. I wouldn't trust the little threaded holes in the flywheel, it takes major force to get them off.

That would be great if you would do that. I'm going to stop by the dealer tomorrow and see what he has or what he can do.

I can tell you (and Andy could testify) that the Husky puller that is designed to remove the flywheel on a range of saws including the 3120 is really a wimpy one.
I think the right steering wheel puller would have worked well on a 3120, for example. Whereas the OEM pulller bent all to heck without extra support.

He might tell you he can't sell them - he's not supposed to... many do... but cheapstihlsawparts sells them.
I've been thinking of making a run of "substantially similar" pullers on a friends' cnc lathe... but... it won't happen for a few months. I can make one-off easily on my equipment, but I can buy "1" far cheaper...

yep..
The stihl puller is quite a bit more beefy..
If you use any of these it on the 2100 etc, be very careful with bolt length. Too long and you'll punch though the top of the igntion module.

Would you mind checking something for me? I have my home DSM, when I looked up the puller for the 056 I show 1106 890 4510. Thats a 3 jaw puller. Doesn't sound right to me.
Have your's handy?
