82 Ezgo 2 stroke Good in reverse bad in forward

And I can't find a 3/4 fine thread bolt ANYWHERE.

Whilst you search here are the instructions for the other side.

If the oil pump is fitted remove it with two small bolt and set it aside.
Remove the 5 or 6 screws that hold the fan cover on and slide it off the crankshaft.
Remove the nut that holds the flywheel on
Locate the two small domed screws on the flywheel (these serve no purpose other than to protect the threads in the flywheel.
To preserve the slot in the end of the crankshaft it is necessary to use a sacrifice piece and I found that an old 1/2 inch socket fitted nicely. Offer up your steering wheel puller to estimate the length of the screws you will need to attach the puller to the flywheel. You will need to purchase two M6 bolts of the correct length along with some washers.
Spray the center of the flywheel with PB Blaster, attach the puller and wind the flywheel off. This may take some force and several attempts, you may need to soak it overnight, hit the end of the puller with a hammer to shock it and so on. With the flywheel off ensure that you do not lose the wudruff key.
Behind the flywheel you will find the pulsar. Mark its position with a scribe and remove the ring using the two bolts.
You can now winkle the seal out.

When you replace the seal I recommend some Loctite thread seal blue on the mating surface. Also generously lubricate the rubber with 2 stroke oil. Tap the seal in gently until it is flush with the crankcase, do not drive it in past this point as it will interfere with the main bearing.

Keep us posted.

Thanks Dave. I got the clutch off with an old trailer hitch ball I had laying around that fit. Haha. Imagine that. Now on to the flywheel.

282 people have read this thread and I am guessing that most of them are pretty impressed with your aptitude. Now we all know that a trailer hitch bolt does the job.

Kudos man.

Thanks man! I'm having trouble getting the seals out. Any siggestions?

Brad88 · 12-15-2012, 11:14 PM

Oh yeah. 1" 7/8 fine thread ball by the way.

The seals will come out but they need to be finagled. I used a large screwdriver as a pry and then some pointed nose pliers to tug on the lip. You will end up destroying the old one but that doesn't matter, just try not to damage the mating surface in the crankcase.

The trailer hitch ball fit in the clutch just as a bolt would. The ball sticking out the end, I then took a pipe wrench and started twisting on it until the clutch popped loose.

Dave that's exactly how I got them out, it just took some perseverance. The cart ran much better after I got all put back together.

Thanks for everyone's help. It was quite a task but I'm glad I did it myself.
