By the way on that flywheel, if you don't have a puller, you can give it a good smack with a block of wood and a hammer. What you do is give it a smack from the side of the flywheel; the side where the magnets are, and it should pop loose from the crankshaft. But before you do that, you gotta take the starter clutch assembly off. What I do with that is either hold the flywheel still by wedging a block of wood under it, or I'll hold it still with my feet. Then what I'll do is take a 1'' x 6'' wooden dowel and give the starter clutch a quick smack right on one of the four ears (in the direction of counter clockwise) where the screws go through to hold the screen on. At that point, it should spin counterclockwise real easy. Be careful with that flywheel though, the blower fins break off real easy. Stay away from the blower fins if you possibly can.
