Ok got a 1999 Johnson 200, swapping parts off the power head to another newer one. We are at a complete standstill and loss of ideas to get flywheel off. Every trick known to man has been used. 3 different pullers, broke multiple grade 8 bolts. Everything short of heating it up which I don't want to do. Anyone else ever come across a stuck flywheel this bad?

Mine was stuck pretty bad, but I put my puller on it, tightened it up just past snug to put some umph against it, and soaked it in PB Blaster overnight.

The next day I re-tightened the puller to just past snug (about 1/4 turn or so) and started whacking the center of the puller with a 3 lb sledge. About 10 whacks and it popped loose.

If you stick with the hammer - on - puller method you should have enough pressure pushing downward that the thing should pop free. You did an overnight soak?

Puller tightened with air impact then strike center stud with a hammer has never failed me. Some are harder than others to remove because they have been locktited.

We're 2 weeks into soaking, breaking puller bolts, 5ft cheater bars, 130psi impact wrenches, Etc. It's insane it's still on. Moving on to heat today and 5lb hammer since power head is useless to us. It's been stripped of components for new power head. Just would like to salvage flywheel assembly

Wow, you're really in deep! Man, I'm sorry you're having so much trouble. I've never seen one that didn't respond to the good ol BFH.

Let us know if the heat works. You did take the nut off first, right? roflmao

Get a bigger impact. At least 650 ft/lb and stronger bolts. PB blaster for 24hrs before. If you are going to use heat try to keep it on the flywheel and not on the shaft. Put some grease under the bolt that pushes against the crankshaft so it can turn easier and not gald the metal.

Well good news we got it off. Bad news flywheel is toast. It basically fused to the shaft when previous owner dropped a cylinder. We used Thor's Hammer to remove haha. But all the assembly is good. Now I need to track down a flywheel and magnets.....today hopefully. Any ideas where to find one in a pinch? Pretty common motor and that flywheel fits a wide range of engines I believe

Glad you got that stubborn buggar off! For the flywheel and magnets, I usually search for the part on boats.net (here's alink to Yamahas) then I either order it from them or find it on Ebay.

I built a puller with 1" plate and 1" solid bar for leverage. 200 hp 92 rude. Took 4 days. Drilling out holes and bottom tapping with fine threads. Then 8 ft cheater and BFH. Everyone watched from a distance.
I usually order parts from marineengine.com I bet there's one on eBay. 60/40 chance it will be right.
