UNBELIEVABLE broke puller tried different puller, no go Applied some heat from torch . tapping wheel wile tightening puller no go.Lots of penetrating oil. I saw Steve's video yesterday.This morning i thought that i might give it a shot with my air hammer what can i loose . Low and be-holed one bang and the wheel broke loose and problem solved. Steve thank you very much. Keep up the good work because we need people like that... YOU HAVE A 6 STAR FROM ME
Same situation however I don't have one of those air hammers... my grass is out of control...How much heat can I apply to this aluminum flywheel without melting it. The B&S puller bolts started to bend and it still would not release. Help
I just found this video two days to late! I had to remove the flywheel from a Colman mini-bike engine that appears to have the very same flywheel as on your engine in this video. I used my old puller; and well, you know the routine. But it was a lot more effort than you just displayed here. My flywheel had the magnet come off and that broke the coil from its casting mounts, a big problem. I am going to try and remount the ignition coil somehow. Thanks for this tip Steve, it's a good one!
Thank you so much for sharing that. I honestly didn't think it would work. I tried it and was amazed how easy the flywheel popped off the shaft on a 2005 Yamaha G22 golf cart that had been seriously neglected and abused.. Thank you again.
Liking the intro. Been watching a mechanic using an air chisel to take splined shafts out of hubs, the air chisel is good for that too. Great video Steve.
Air hammers are great, and air chipping hammers are even better. We had to go to a construction supply store to get one of those. But it will drive out the king pins on a International bus like it's nothing. I love it.
Awesome Steve, to easy to be true. I use all your ideas. Wish you lived close by. Wesley chapel, fl. But watching your vides are the best. Thank you so much. I work on riding and z-turn lawn mower restoration. Thank you again.
All i can say is thanks for sharing this tip.I tried several times with a large gear puller on my 11 hp honda with no luck.I then came across your video .Hooked up the air hammer and shazam off it came.
Another great quality video Steve, thanks so much. Loved your reaction when it popped off in a nanosecond. You've turned a Crate Of Beer job into a Barely A Sip job. 👍👌👏
Is this groundhog day, air hammer?? Oh wait, last week was a clutch. 😂 That was one fast flywheel, barely got to crack open that beer Mr Steve. Thanks for the shout-out. 😘 😍
Hello Steve, that was so easy and I have to remember that tip for future reference just in case I have that problem with a stuck flywheel. Thanks for sharing this tip with us all and God Bless.
And it didn't even take the time for one sip of beer. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣 Cool that the you trick from _How To Remove A Stuck Clutch With An Air Hammer_ from 2 weeks ago worked even faster here! 👍👍 Two thumbs up for you. I hope your enjoyed that beer afterward. 😆😁 What a nifty tip. Thanks
I saw you Vid when it came out. I found a 1950 Power Products 3 HP engine I thought I' d repair. Your trick clicked off the flywheel in 2 seconds. Engine was too far gone to re build. Thank you. I will use this again.
Wow! It didn't pop off like in the video but I used the pneumatic hammer on a rivet while a puller had it in tension and it came right off after struggling with it for 4 hours. Thanks!
Was recently working on a Homelite DM50, which is a concrete/multipurpose saw similar to their 450 chainsaw. 75cc I think. Given to us in rough shape. Was "seized" (or so it seemed), after sitting in a damp area for a year or 2. After multiple oil soaks and dismantling it, I figured it was time to take the flywheel off. Was about to give the air hammer a try, after breaking my only puller that fit and switching to a hammer and center punch, but one more hit and miraculously the engine un-seized! Must've been some mild rust, combined with the nasty concrete dust. Actually got it running now, too, for the first time since owning it. Mean saw, and heavy. Definitely will get the air hammer out for future flywheels.
So I have been using air hammer to loosen bolts that will not come lose. I had adaptors to fit 3/8", 1/2", 3/4" drive sockets then a box end wrench to torque up on them. Works great! I have made the same and more for my big boy Milwaukee M18 FUEL SDS Plus Rotary Hammer. It hits faster and harder then air hammers and doesn't need the air line fight just a battery. I have made a 1/2" and 3/4" drill check, .401 air hammer bit adaptor and it you have the room it is awesome. I'm do industrial maintenance on huge equipment and 1" drive torque wrench to 1/2" are almost daily used item and it is but to see air hammer or my M18 SDS hammer drill take stuff lose that 3 men hanging on the same couldn't.
Yep did it with a 7x rivet gun (Which is pretty much the same thing as an air hammer.) in an Aircraft Hangar but used a flat mushroom tip on the rivet gun so as to bear on the flat end of the crankshaft. I lifted the entire mower via the flywheel to load the crankshaft end float towards the flywheel so that the crankshaft is being hammered into clearance rather than hammering down on the entire engine bearings crankcase mower deck and wheels. Anothrr guy operated the Rivet Gun. And after a short Brap I tumbled backwards with the flywheel in my hands.
I have always feared that this would destroy bearings and crack aluminium casings. Perhaps you could do video with some broken engines to show us how much pounding they can take?
When I was a young man, a friend and I spent all morning trying to get a brake drum off a Chevy, about to give up when an old man came by and told us to whack it with a big hammer between the lug bolts. One lick and the thing actually jumped off. Shock and vibration are fantastic tools to remember to use!
A small tap with a pin punch on the end of the key will often loosen a stuck flywheel, particularly a Woodruff key which is designed to rotate and lock as the pulley/flywheel is withdrawn.
I need to replace the auger drive bearing in an older Ariens snowblower and I've tried everything I can think of to pull the pulley hub off short of cutting a slot in the side of it. I've tried heat with a puller after cleaning the little bit of rust from the shaft, I've tried an air hammer and I can't sell in good faith a great machine knowing the bearing is toast. Bottoms up kind sir.
I have been doing that for a while now, it's magic, especially for the larger flywheels like the 18hp Inteks on ride ons. I like the air hammer because I don't miss and bust fins off of the flywheel 😉
Hey Steve, that's a good one I didn't know. I like your channel , l have learned Alot, and some stuff reaffirmed. I have Huskvarna Xp 395 on down to top handle Echo, I enjoyed complete video on chain tension, l can't convince a neighbor on proper tension, he runs chains loose, Dangerous
Hard to believe that hammer does a different & much better job then just a hammer on the shaft&nut with a screwdriver prying the flywheel. Broke my Power Products/TECUMSEH AH47 crankshaft doing it that way 60 years ago, believe it was hit square & straight, and still don't know why it broke off. After all, it worked on plenty of other engines B&S, Reo, Cushman, Clinton etc. Thanks for the tip, & nice video!
I wish I had thought of this last week when I was trying to get the flywheel off my Stihl MS391. That thing just wouldn't come loose. The day we stop learning is the day we should go do something else. This one gets committed to memory.
You can also loosen some stubborn nuts by putting the air hammer point at a slight angle to the flat of the nut. I have also seen a fan clutch removed from a Ford water pump this way. Just make sure you are loosening, not tightening. Thanks for the demo, Steve. Always better to work smart than work hard!

It's worth buying an air chisel just for this one application. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Glad it was helpful!
I've seen it done on others but never on a Honda. A life saver.
Watching you get surprised was the best !
I was shocked too! That was fast!
UNBELIEVABLE broke puller tried different puller, no go
Applied some heat from torch . tapping wheel wile tightening puller no go.Lots of penetrating oil.
I saw Steve's video yesterday.This morning i thought that i might give it a shot with my air hammer
what can i loose . Low and be-holed one bang and the wheel broke loose and problem solved.
Steve thank you very much. Keep up the good work because we need people like that...

Right on! Glad it worked for ya!
You’re my favorite to watch, drink and wrench with brother! Keep pushin the ole beard brother!
I appreciate that!
Liking the intro. Been watching a mechanic using an air chisel to take splined shafts out of hubs, the air chisel is good for that too. Great video Steve.
Right on Al! Thank You...
That was so easy, I was waiting for you to grab a couple more engines to try it on.
I've Used An Air Hammer In The Automotive Field For Almost 50 Years. With All The Diff. Kind Of Bits It Has Endless Uses
Agreed!
I can't understand the cordless tool thing, I have Sioux air tools, IR impact, they last a lifetime
Air hammers are great, and air chipping hammers are even better. We had to go to a construction supply store to get one of those. But it will drive out the king pins on a International bus like it's nothing. I love it.

Nice job!
Steve I just tried this on a Tecumseh lawnmower engine to replace the flywheel key.
Worked like a charm.
Thanks and Cheers.
Excellent!
What a great idea, i have a new use for my air chissel. I'll need to try that next time. Thanks Steve.
You're Welcome...
Thanks buddy.
I've used this method twice and worked great!!! thanks for the video
Great to hear!
Another great quality video Steve, thanks so much. Loved your reaction when it popped off in a nanosecond. You've turned a Crate Of Beer job into a Barely A Sip job.
👍👌👏
Cool, thanks!
Oh I have got to try that ! Can't believe I've never tried that. Great video as always Steve. I'm liking that beer coozie Stella sent ya. Awesome.
Right on buddy! Thank You...
Is this groundhog day, air hammer?? Oh wait, last week was a clutch. 😂 That was one fast flywheel, barely got to crack open that beer Mr Steve. Thanks for the shout-out. 😘 😍
My pleasure Stella...

Sure is
Cool tip. And I love the lawnmower lady. A great YT channel!!
Me too!
Steve you are a magician. Keep up the good work.
Thank You...
Awesome! Never thought of that!
Hello Steve, that was so easy and I have to remember that tip for future reference just in case I have that problem with a stuck flywheel. Thanks for sharing this tip with us all and God Bless.
Yep it works I have done that many times sometimes you need a pry bar behind the flywheel. Stella is awesome!!
Thank you sir I always learn something from your videos
My pleasure

I just a tried it just now, on my first attempt at fixing a lawn mower. Worked!!
Excellent!
I saw you Vid when it came out. I found a 1950 Power Products 3 HP engine I thought I' d repair. Your trick clicked off the flywheel in 2 seconds. Engine was too far gone to re build. Thank you. I will use this again.

I told you been doing it for years good tip
works also with a non-rotating hammer drill with similar pointed tool
It's hammer time!! Nice work! 💪
Yes! Thank you!
Ive done this for yrs. Try it on pulleys also, does just as good👍.
Agreed!
thought I'd seen the air hammer trick, and that was a pulley in your previous video. works on pretty much anything with a tapered shaft or a keyway.
Agreed!
I have always feared that this would destroy bearings and crack aluminium casings.
Perhaps you could do video with some broken engines to show us how much pounding they can take?
they can take about as much as your mom
@@ghost2coast296 I'm dead!
idk his mom been pounding my hammer for decades bro!
Looks like his test engine IS broke! See through crank case?
I learned this recently from Red Beard garage also, what a great time saver over the old method of a puller. Thanks for the tips as always.
Air tools are fun! I also need to add that the beard looks very regal and sophisticated !
Thank You...
@@StevesSmallEngineSaloon I noticed it, too. Looks good and manly. 😁
I knew it would work done it for years i was as shock as you when i first seen it love ya Steve lets have a beer and move along...
Right on Jim!
When I was a young man, a friend and I spent all morning trying to get a brake drum off a Chevy, about to give up when an old man came by and told us to whack it with a big hammer between the lug bolts.

Right on
Thanks for the tip Steve
Any time!
Steve you can also get a hammer bit for your air hammer. It works good for a shaft that doesn't have a hole in the center
That's huge Steve! I bet it will work on an outboard too. Thanks alot bro.
Absolutely!
Love those air hammer they come in handy and I am glad that came off in one shot 🎯
Agreed!
Thanks Steve that was awesome
You're Welcome...
Love it Steve! We would be lost without our air hammer! Great shout out for Stella 🤩 I also recognise the voice on your intro….. 😂
Right on James! Thank You...
Thanks James 🙂
Very helpful information!
Glad you think so!
What. 😂😂. Never ever seen one come off that easy. That’s not even a full can of beer job. Thank you Steve.
Me neither
Thanks Steve.....been there.
Right on
A small tap with a pin punch on the end of the key will often loosen a stuck flywheel, particularly a Woodruff key which is designed to rotate and lock as the pulley/flywheel is withdrawn.

A small drill come kango hammer should do the same?
Thanks mate.
You're Welcome...
The surprised look on your face, “Was Priceless!!!”
LOL! Right on Bill...
I have been doing that for years it works 👍👍
Right on
Nice one Steve 👍🏻
Thank You...
Works good for clutches to.
Yup, on my previous video...
Steve where the heck do you learn that stuff Legend

Steve's Small Engine Saloon - Miracles performed daily, the impossible takes a little longer.
great tip. i will try it
Go for it!
Wow great tip
Thanks
Happy to help
I’m not sure whether to swear or cheer.
I just split my beer after seeing Steve get that fly wheel off in a split second.
LOL! Right on
Wow! I wouldnt have thought of that in a million years
Right on
Thank you so much, it worked great. If you were in Wisconsin, I would buy you a beer!😊
You're Welcome...
Bin doing for years you have a good chisel.
Cool invention!! Ps. You need a Blatz can on your back shelf Stevie!!
Good idea!!
Hard to believe that hammer does a different & much better job then just a hammer on the shaft&nut with a screwdriver prying the flywheel.

That thing just wouldn't come loose. The day we stop learning is the day we should go do something else. This one gets committed to memory.
Right on Kevo! Thank You...
You can also loosen some stubborn nuts by putting the air hammer point at a slight angle to the flat of the nut. I have also seen a fan clutch removed from a Ford water pump this way. Just make sure you are loosening, not tightening. Thanks for the demo, Steve. Always better to work smart than work hard!
