I think the winter question was from your post when you said "you spent all last winter in it". I too originally thought you meant the boat, but now reading it again I think you meant the garage!

oh, I thought he was just being weird...yeah I meant the garage.

WOW talk about everybody doing it the hard way.

1-Get a bolt or axle (not the one for your bike is best ) that fits inside the rotor thread properly

2- find a suitable size ball bearing, 1/4 inch or larger, to fit in between the bolt and crank shaft end, but leaving at least 5-6 threads in the rotor before it gets snug

3- If the engine is dissambled to the point you are at in the pic, block up 1 or 2 pistons against the engine block with peices of 2X4 boards stood on edege. If still asembled have a helper hold the crankshaft on the other side, or simply stuff a rag between any supported and exposed gears to block them.

4-Tighten the "puller" bolt to about 25-50 ft/lb of torque.


5-rap the top of the head end of the puller bolt with a steel hammer sharply.

This is all it should take to get this off, but sometimes retighening and more beating is required. Watch out, the rotor may "jump" off at you or the floor.

I tried that 3 weeks ago...it didn't work.
