Flywheel – Models WITH PowerLink
CAUTION
AVOID HAND AND/OR
FINGER INJURY!
• The flywheel magnets are VERY POWERFUL
and can rapidly draw the flywheel to the
engine. Exercise caution and use the proper
tools when servicing the flywheel.
Required Tools
NOTE: The components of Flywheel Puller #19534,
are shown in Fig. 17. This tool is RE-
QUIRED to service the flywheel on engines

the puller screw (5) until the flange on the puller
is flush with the flange on the flywheel, Fig. 19.
6. Align the holes in the puller flange with the holes
in the flywheel. Install the puller screws (4) and
tighten until the screws are flush with the flange
on the puller.
7. While holding the hex on the puller, tighten the
puller screw until the flywheel loosens.
8. Continue tightening the puller screw until the flywheel
is clear of the stator and can be lifted from
the crankshaft. Leave the puller screw in this
position.
9. Leave the puller attached to the flywheel, and
place the flywheel on a clean work surface with
the ring gear side down, until the flywheel is
ready to be installed.
