Does anyone have a trick for removing a flywheel. The nut is off abd I
   tried using the holes close to where the shaft comes through by tapping
   them for2- 3/8 -28 bolts and part of a puller the screw. After 3
   attempts I pulled the 3/8-28 screw right out of the flywheel. I thought
   about making a puller out of the old clutch but i have to find some
   steel that won't buckle. I have numerous pieces of channel and U chanel
   that are twisted up beyond recognition. Thanks for any help

   You are not the only one with the twisted channel :)
   Brute force. Once you have the nut off smack the flywheel with
   a ten pound sledge hammer as shown in this pic. It will pop
   right off. You won't hurt the e-shaft.

I had Dennis Hayes start smacking my flywheel with a 5 lb brass hammer,
kept wacking it and it fell right off. I guess it sets up some sort of
resonation and bingo! Off it falls.
