Working on a neighbors Stihl MS462C that got hit by a piece of equipment and suffered some damage. Think the cracks in the far edges of the crankcase are not bad enough to replace the crankcase, but having trouble pulling the flywheel to check all of it. Ordered a tool to pull the flywheel (seems like I keep getting more saws to work on, so just ordered the tool below). Removed the flywheel nut and it does not look like this puller will work on this saw, but have not received the tool yet. Tried the tap on the crank while applying pressure under the flywheel, but not luck so far. That approach has worked to remove flywheels on everything I have worked on, but not this time.
There are two threaded holes in the flywheel that look like they could be used like a regular gear puller, One hole is fairly shallow and the other goes completely through the flywheel. Think these may be used if I make a small gear puller.
Looking for suggestions on the best way to pop the flywheel loose. If there is another tool that would be helpful, please let me know. Looks like most of the tools are relatively inexpensive.
