you are not supposed to hit cranks with a hammer, but i guarantee if you tighten the bolt that pulls the flywheel and hit the end of it as hard as you can with a BFH, it will pop right off.
Sorry I should have said hit the end of the bolt . And how big of a hammer we talking . ? I'll try my biggest hammer tommorow instead of a dead blow .

BFH and hit it like you mean it, dead center, one time
So I think here's my issue I tighten puller . Then hit with hammer . Try and tighten puller again and it doesn't go any farther . I'm basically running it in until it stops hitting it two to three times at the end of the puller . And repeating only issue is no matter how hard I hit it it doesn't tighten any more . It's like it bottoms out . Stops and then that's it . Btw it's a 18mm oem Kawai puller

i use the turn plate pivot bolt from the first generation 400 440. i think they came on 1973 thru 1976. on some pullers, i put a ball bearing between the puller and the crank

I sometimes used a nut between the snout of the crank and main bolt of puller.
Buzzard .bobert I think u guys have the solution . I sure hope , I've tried everything else it wouldn't hurt to try this . Just to ask because its in my head, would there be anything that would cause they flywheel to restrict it from coming off ? I'm sure it's a dumb question but I have to ask incase I'm missing something

You are using a harmonic balancer puller right? is the puller bolt putting pressure on the flywheel instead of the crank snout? On my puller I have to place a crap socket between the snout and the bolt otherwise the bolt just puts pressure on my flywheel and thats hopeless. My end looks like this and its just slightly to big to work without the socket.

that aint the right puller for the kawi 750 800 or the right puller for any ski flywheel.You are using a harmonic balancer puller right? is the puller bolt putting pressure on the flywheel instead of the crank snout?

Seems to work fine for my SJ and worked for my 550's. They have to same bolt pattern and threads as the flywheels....
Whats wrong with them?

I assumed he had an SJ not an SXR, my bad. I see now that it would not work on an SXR flywheel.

Consider greasing the threads of the puller screw, increases pulling pressure, saves threads and has been accepted procedure for generations.
Roger that that's part of what I have been doing . All I have in the garage is marine grade grease but I figured that didn't matter .
