FLYWHEEL PULLER PISSED W/SBT Help!

[industructableskithrasher]

I just recently bought and had shipped a "Universal" puller from SBT. Stated to fit all models but, kawi 750,900,1100 & 1200. I have a 94 WB700, and I am trying to pull the flywheel to have lightened. It appears that I could enlarge the three holes that most line up with the flywheel and make the puller work, but I did not expect to have to do this. Any advice here would be appreciated.

Freezing my A__ __ off here in Michigan.

If you want to return the SBT one, you can pick up a harmonic balance puller at Advance, they have 2 kits that are $10 and $17 and will work great for you. Grease the main screw and use an impact gun if you have one. Also use the shortest M8 x 1.25 bolts you can and she should pop off easily.

Most of those pullers that have 3 sets of holes do not line up. Have two different ones here. Does not work on Yamaha flywheels.

Plus they are hardened steel. Cannot be drilled out. Took one to a fab shop and they could not drill out.

I have one I drilled out with no issues, but am not sure of its origin. Some of the more economical tools are hardened to a level comparable to a warm stick of butter

Lol. Mine came from WSM. It was baked at a really high temp. Worthless.

Harmonic balancer puller for the win. Only thing I use

I have this kit. Works perfect and pretty cheap.

Rule #1: You always go to to harbor freight freight first! Unless you are going to use it more then a handful of times.

Rule #2: Cheap Tools will always fail either at 11:30 at night when it is too late to do anything about it, or when every you really need it.

I have the same kit. It may be cheap, but for the three times I've ever had to pull my flywheel, its been great.

its no mac but i wouldn't call it cheap like harbor freight. its worked great for me in many situations. and having a full assortment of bolts sae and metric make it really handy.

It looks exactly the same as my harbor freight one. As does the snap-on one I borrowed. Same colors, same packaging etc etc.

 

[Scraggly]

Maybe it is. I don't care. Works for me and hasn let me down yet. Still gets my vote

I bought my first from sbt it didnt work with my yamaha either. The bolts were not spaced correctly. Have been using a harbor freight one ever since. Probably pulled about 50 wheels with it now.

A huge Braaaaaaaaaaap! Thank you to all that replied and helped me sort this out. I am sending the SBT pullers back to them, and picking up the harmonic puller from advance Monday.
