    And you still have to remove the gas tank, as there’s no easy way to hold the flywheel to operate the “puller” or torque the flywheel nut. I suppose you could use a piston stop, but.. I’m not sure how those dainty little connecting rods would feel about it. I can say from experience they’re made of some pretty soft stuff.

    A strap wrench is the easiest and proper way to hold a flywheel while torquing or removing a flywheel and one of these should be in every outboard motor enthusiasts tool box. 😀
