If your just going to replace stator just take the bolts out of the center of flywheel. Make sure its at TDC on pointer when you remove it so you can have a reference to reinstall it.
Re: flywheel removal without there special tool here
Heck, the 35 isn’t even a tough one. You should try a 40HP more
If you want to do it without hurting yourself or breaking something, then get one of these. here
I am not sure what I need other than more patience. I picked up a nice 1957 35hp Johnson, and am in the process bringing it back to life. On day 6 trying to remove the flywheel as the coils are in need for replacement. I have a puller on the wheel with probably 60-80 lbs of torque, been soaking with PB blaster and SeaFoam, along with applying heat. Any advice will be appreciated. Also to my surprise the motor has a generator, I suppose that’s a good thing although trying to find a regulator along with a gauge is as successful as me pulling the wheel. Again any and all advice will be appreciated
Best money I’ve ever spent on one of these. Does the job time after time. here
The flywheel can be removed by the method suggested by mastertek, BUT. you have a great risk of damaging the crankshaft. I've seen many many tecumseh crankshafts with ruined threads on the end from hitting it for flywheel removal. with the nut on them even. The nut just mashes the threads down. This is not a fun thing to deal with and can be expensive. The safest way would be to rent, borrow, buy a flywheel removal tool. I can't remember if there are threaded holes for puller bolts on this engine or not. If so, you can rent a harmonic balancer puller and bolts from autozone and safely use it to pull the flywheel. You will want to thread the flywheel nut down on the crank until it is flush with the top end of the crank to protect it. Penetrating oil won't help get it off, since it is basically pressed onto a tapered shaft. You need a puller. [links]
I've been hacking at this MTD Tecumseh Vector VLV-55 Synergy for a while & a found the problem . thanks to tons of reply's from you guys. There's clearly more than one piece in there, from topside view. Unfortunately, flywheel removal seems like a touchy/feely operation. I'd rather not post the, "where can you find flywheels" post, so here's the question.
Is there any way to remove the flywheel without a special tool (flywheel puller, I presume)? I've WD-40'd the shaft all day & am using a small pry bar, but that thing won't budge. Should I go thru the whole can of WD-40, then try again?
When you reinstall, make sure you tighten the flywheel nut to proper torque.
Re: How to Remove The Flywheel on 50 Hp Merc/Mariner [links]
So the trigger was bad on my Mariner/Merc but to replace it I have to pull off the flywheel. Now that I have the retaining bolt off how do I pull the flywheel off. I'm assuming I need to use a puller of some sort but I can't figure exactly how as I don't see any bolt holes to mount a puller to.
Also does anyone know the oil capacity of the lower gear box?
Dude unblot the flywheel after marking it at top dead center so it goes back correctly. after removing the flywheel the trigger on most engine,s can be removed if carefully streched over the flywheel hub. Some may need to have the hub pulled. You can get the puller at autozone rental free. Get your money back when done. It looks like a peace sign 3 to 4 prongs and get the right bolts for your hub. some come with them some do not They must be long enough to reach the puller. The lower should hold about a quart filling from the bottom up until oil comes out of the top hole after you remove both screws upper and lower. After oil ozzes out gently tighten the bottom screw and giv the oil time to settle some addition oil can be put in to top it off at that point. Make sure it is full. It can then be pressure tested for leakage
