A 2 bolt puller? What for? If its for getting the flywheel off, just bang the **** out of the perimeter with a hard rubber mallet until if comes off.

a prybar on the opposite side helps too.

thing that helps the most is searching the forum though, this was covered in detail not long ago.

Sideways7s' got it down. This is all I had to do. Don't pry the wheel. Rubber or plastic mallet is all you need!!

Mine popped off with a single hit, of coarse I was using a 20 lb hammer but I had a new one so I didn't care. I didn't even hit it that hard...

Don't use a pry bar you might break something. I did that at first and brok off one of the holes that the tranny bolts to. Justhit it with a rubber mallet. it will pop right off.

you must have been prying pretty damn hard cause i have a 20lb 3.5ft prybar that can do some damage... i have never broken anything while prying on it but you do not need to lean on it very much, the prybar is just there for a little leverage once the flywheel does start to jar loose- most of the work is being done by the hammer/deadblow/mallet though i would suggest a deadblow or hammer before a rubber mallet since the shock is what you want and the rubber mallet will absorb most of the impact.

yeah just make sure u set a few pads underneath and wack the **** out of it with a hard rubber mallet. that way it doesnt **** the teeth up when it falls off.
if the rubber mallet isint enough force for you get a hand sledge and put a 2x4 between the hammer and the flywheel. unless u arent reusing the flywheel then just beat the **** out of it.
