    There is a trick that works a few times for me in an emergency case but its not recommended to do
    better to buy/wait for a puller.

    I never did this on a husky but on a few other bikes.

    The trick is to hit the fly wheel with 2 hammers on the opposite side of each other

    this can pop it loose (no guarantee as if it is rusted it will not work)

    again this a a crude way of doing it and is NOT recommended to do so.

    When you do it to hard and/or not simultaneously you damage the flywheel (unbalance it) you might also brake loose the magnetic patches in the flywheel itself.

    get a flywheel puller

    Gunna say i had my flywheel off by not having the nut on it and running the engine, not reccomended as it ruined my stator cover.

    splitting the cases because you were in a hurry

    Undo the nut but leave it on about flush with the end of the crank shaft, Get a pair of tyre levers under the flywheel to put some degree of force on it then hit the end of the crank and pop it goes. Dont recommend it but has always worked as a last resort and is a dam site better than twatting the flywheel with two hammers as all thats gonna achive is to bust the magnets and total the flywheel.

    Please don't use a hammer. The shock load that loosen the flywheel also transfers straight to the crank main bearings. These bearings are ball race and are not designed for impact loads . The damage that could occur is similar to installing the bearings in the cases by hitting the inner race, which would leave divots in the races.
    Use the proper tools and be patient.

    Oldscool, needs must weve all been nipped up and desperate for a ride! yes its not ideal but i can see from both sides of the fence yes for the sake of £9 and a few days wait i wouldnt risk it but if you dont have £9 and your on a promise from girl yup i would smash the heck outta my flywheel! All im saying is we all have different ways of reaching the same destination.

    hahahaha

    "different ways of reaching the same destination"

    some people get there with a map and a solid piece of transportation, others stumble upon the same location as if drunk

    i would need to be pretty desperate to take a chance on crank or bearing damage
    in 1972 i rebuilt and trued a 125 crank, it took a VERY small tap with a very small mallet to get the final adjustment, so i realized how fragile the assembly is

    I agree but some dont care and it seems to work for em, got a friend thats done zero maintenance to his cr250 apart frim a lever and clutch cable.
    It sounds horrid and everytime he starts it im waiting for it to grenade, its yet to happen and after4 years of riding with him im amazed that he keeps getting away with it.

    it's like watching an alcoholic, you can't imagine that the abuse can go on yet they get up and function
    not everything in life makes sense

    as for me, i buy tools and work in a sane fashion because i don't want to be stranded 23 miles out on a 46 mile loop that's mostly single track
    last time i broke down was the bolt that holds my sprocket on fractured and the sprocket fell off, it caught and locked the rear up
    fortunately we were just finishing up a loop and were about 1 mile from camp, after a little rigging to get the chain away from the rear sprocket and tire i was towed back on a flat fire road,,, slowly
