Starter Pulley Removal Help Needed
Guys I cant get the starter pulley off the crank shaft. I have read and read and all discussions start out fine but the end up talking about clutch removal and nothing about this pulley. What am i doing wrong? Do i need to heat that pulley up to get it off? i hear about this special tool but it all goes back to the clutch.
Any help would be much appreciated I can try and post pics if that would help. Thanks in advance. |

Re: Starter Pulley Removal Help Needed
its a tapper shaft so to get it off a puller is needed or maybe what I end up doing is grabbing a block of wood and wedging it behind the pulley and smack it with a hammer turn and smack turn and smack. It takes a lot of effort on some but they have always came off.

Re: Starter Pulley Removal Help Needed
thanks guys, so i guess the tapered bolt removes the starter pulley as well. i know i kept reading it was for clutch removal but i guess its for both. now my next question is the bearings that are in it are not sealed and i plan to replace since one is broken. should I go back with open style bearings or can i use sealed bearings? what are yalls thoughts?

Re: Starter Pulley Removal Help Needed
I have no problems other than the pulley, which i finally got it off and I understand the one piece. I was thinking ahead and bought an impact screw driver to remove those screws and it was pretty simple. If you dont have one then i suggest you go out and get you one, got mine at o'Rielly's for $13. To me using it one time paid for itself. I just now need to get those bearings and put it back together. ready to hear it run.

Re: Starter Pulley Removal Help Needed
yama we're talking about the crankshaft bearings inside the crankcase.
As an FYI For those interested, i bought one open faced bearing (like whats in it) and a sealed bearing. My local parts house wanted $25 & $35 for the two open bearings. I found them elsewhere much cheaper but one was a sealed so i took a chance thinking that they had to be identical behind the seals. I pulled the seals out of the bearing and low and behold it was as i thought, exactly the same. I did however take some brake cleaner and remove the grease that was packed in the sealed bearing. |

Re: Starter Pulley Removal Help Needed
I prefer non sealed for the fact you can do your own maintance there is not differents on the inside of a normal ball bearing
