Help With Flywheel Puller! By son10s (Read 616 times)

I have a two-stroke Strada RX-50, which I'm told is the same as a Vento and I need the dimensions of the flywheel puller so I can get to my Stator. I don't want to order a universal online and have to wait when I can get the puller locally if I just know the measurements. I have been through all the Vento manuals and it does not specify the threads.. Does anybody know? Thanks!

Can`t help with the threads unfortunately, but if you don`t have any luck with a puller, pick up a brass drift around 20-30mm diameter from your local hardware/machine shop. With one of those, a hammer and two longish flat bladed screwdrivers you can remove most flywheels.
Place the screwdrivers on either side of the flywheel with the blades just under the edge of the flywheel. Get someone to place light pressure on the screwdriver handles using them as levers. Undo the flywheel nut so that the top is level with the end of the crank threads, then unscrew one more half turn. Place the drift on the end of the nut and give it a sharp blow with the hammer. Depending on how tight the flywheel is, it normally takes 1-3 blows of the hammer to pop the flywheel off the taper.

I used a gear/steering wheel puller, just threaded the bolts into the fan bolt holes and then hit it with the electric impact, worked great!
