Thread: F100 - power unit is off the mid section

No substitute for a large hammer. Makes for a satisfying thump when it connects

Respectfully speaking, we called it "Warm it Up" in the oil field. Shock it what loosens the Taper. If you hit it with the sledge you may damage the Thrust Bearings on the Crank. I think they are pressed on, you can check the manual I sent to be sure. Also the Block itself can be damaged. I hope you're just pulling my leg with that Mall.

Believe me, I'm not hitting it full force. I'm trying not to damage anything. I started out with your size hammer, but I didn't think to hit it 40 times, I figured one reasonably good snap with the mall would do it, but it has not worked yet. Gotta get a better puller IMHO, one where bolts don't break and threads don't strip.

This project is enough to tell me I don’t need to try this at home. Hope it gets better Boss.

Yes, great. Thank you. I couldn't focus to stick steel to Crappie all day today thinking about my imagined sight of that blue handle swinging a full arc onto the top of your puller. One thing you are learning here Slab is how to get a Outboard Flywheel off. Even a little 40Hp is this much of a pain to pull but once you ring one with a hammer and see it Pop you will know what to expect in the future. The bigger engines like a 250-300Hp are a bit harder, higher initial torque on the Flywheel installation. Bon Temps is getting schooled by me on deep hole crappie fishing in the Swamp today so I will be un-plugged from Crappie.com all day. Hopefully he will have a good post for Crappie.com afterwards.

Play nice out there guys and have fun....lol.

One good thing about a taper is once it moves it is free.

Me thinks this one will do the job.
