I went through a lot of hassle getting a flywheel puller to work for me. First I brought one that was too small, then the second one I brought wouldnt screw into the flywheel. Then I read somewhere the threads in the flywheel are left hand when actually they arent.....basically it was a pain. Hopefully if I explain all the crap I went through here it will save someone the agrivation and possibly ruining a flywheel.
NOTE: The bolt holding on the flywheel is left hand thread, and the threads in the flywheel are Right hand.
If you have a femsa ignition from the early huskys your flywheel puller needs to be 32.5mm x 1.5mm, Problem is the only ones I could find are 33mm x 1.5mm so they will have to be machined down. Or you can be cheap like me and use a file, this will take alittle while but does work.
If you have a different type of flywheel get a caliper and a metric thread gauge and find out what you have.
Use Grease when putting the puller in. Work the puller in and out until it goes in smoothly, kind of like tapping a hole.
Screw the puller in until you cant see anymore threads or else you will rip the threads out of the flywheel when you begin to put pressure on the shaft with the bolt.
I used an oil filter strap wrench to hold the flywheel while i was working on mine instead of the flywheel holders that are impossible to find and over priced. My idea might work for you it might not. A piece of round stock could make a nice holder if needed.
Lastly spray some penetrating oil onto the shaft that holds the flywheel, insert the bolt into the puller and crank away.
