Salam, You can coat the wood spacers with a wax release agent and make them easier to remove. This can be accomplished by dipping them in melted paraffin or by wrapping them in wax paper. Dan S. from Michigan & Texas USA
Thank you Dan, I appreciate your comment and tip. I thought about doing something like what you suggested, I opted to do so as the release agent may cause adhering issues.
Very nice when you rehab a flywheel to better blueprint specifications than the original manufacturer. Thanks for taking time to share.. again.. Safe and Happy Thanksgiving to You and Yours.
Thank you brother, I didn't believe what I heard when the dealer ask about $300 for new flywheel for a mower I paid $200 for the complete thing. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
Excellent presentation sir! I just helped out my neighbor with this same work today. In his case, one magnet came loose and was rubbing away the outsides of the stator poles ruining them. He drove it that way all summer to cut his grass and just recharged the battery before each use. I'll be replacing the stator and regulator for good measure. I also found his battery connections were crusty, the blades badly eroded, tire pressures all over the place and the machine was filthy all over and inside. So I took it on as a project to help a good neighbor. (I'm a retired mechanic) I would be careful about the epoxy being used to hold the magnet into the flywheel. Don't apply it too thick! That could force the magnets too close to the stator poles and rub them. I saw the magnets on this one had been factory attached with two little dabs of rubber cement. Very thin dabs! So, I reattached these with a bit of medium viscosity super glue. Now I am thinking I may want to glue all the others back on one at a time to prevent them from coming loose like that. Thank you for the great info here and your hard work! You are a very thorough technician! You put much quality into your work. The world needs more men like that!
They are the original. They were stuck to the stator. I just cleaned them well. I believe you can find them on eBay. They call them flywheel ferrite magnets (make sure for your Kohler engine model).
You can use any type of hammer drill with a punch type of chisel. Apply pressure with two pry bars at two opposite points (make sure you don't damage wires or hoses) between the flywheel and the engine block then use the hammer drill and apply the hammering at the center of the crank shaft (after you lose the nut) and this should free the flywheel from the crank shaft. Another method (more risky) is to apply the pressure with the pry bars and lose the nut and make sure the nut is protecting the thread of the crank shaft and smack it with a hammer. Make sure the nut is about two threads out of the crank shaft thread, it is easier and cheaper to replace the nut than the crank shaft in case of any damage from the hammer. I hope I was able to explain it. If you have any other questions please let me know.
The magnets I used are the original. I didn't buy new magnets. I did say that in the video. Search online. I believe you may find new or used magnets on eBay or other online sources.
@@SalamSayhood idk I’m confused I have a 2003 Kholer CV15S and I took the flywheel off and the magnets were stuck to the magneto and there was only 4, I don’t believe 2 would have fallen out there’s no room for them to fall out, I’m honestly stumped
There is no reason to remove the magnets other than the flywheel was built cheaply or a previous person had to repair the flywheel magnets and he lost two or they were damaged. Technically the alternator will output a reduced power if missing two magnets. Keep in mind, the remaining magnets need to alternate polarity as I showed and also each pair needs to be 180 degrees apart to keep the flywheel balanced and also for the alternator to work. Basically you will have something exactly like mine minus two. If it was me, I would find and purchase a set of 6 magnets and install them.
The info on the magnets was exactly what I needed thank you! ❤️
Thank you, I appreciate your comment
Thank you for sharing all this great information.

Thank you so much for posting! Currently going off your video and fixing my flywheel magnets.

Excellent video.. very helpful for a common problem
Thank you, I appreciate your nice comment
Where did you buy the magnets? :)
They are the original. They were stuck to the stator. I just cleaned them well. I believe you can find them on eBay. They call them flywheel ferrite magnets (make sure for your Kohler engine model).
Great how to video, Thank You!
Thank you, I appreciate your comment
great work
Thank you sir
Where did you get the magnets from?

@@SalamSayhood you're lucky mine were destroyed when they came off, no luck finding replacements
Great video, but I'm having a hard time finding a video on flywheel removal for cub cadet 1554.

I laugh when people take up for the sorry engine
JB weld works great 👍

Very good sir, thank you
Why does mine have only 4 magnets??
Do the 4 magnets go all the way around (with about 1/4 inch gab) or are you missing 2?

You should have 6 magnets. Unless someone else removed the other two.
@@SalamSayhood would there be a reason to remove them? What would that do?

Just use clothes pins for gaps.
