Yeah, these flywheels can be real buggers indeed. I have had some luck using a 1/2″ impact gun on the puller bolt. Please wear goggles and gloves though. Are you using the OMC puller and bolts? I would not use any other rigs to avoid damage and injury.

I have a decent harmonic balancer puller that I’ve had for 20 plus years,
that’s never failed me yet. Just wish OMC put beefier puller holes in
their bigger flywheels. I’ve been tightening the puller bolt a little more
several times today. Will see what happens in the morning.
Have you ever used a little heat on these flywheels?
Hate to smoke my pretty blue coils though. 😯

Prepare to be boarded!
