Flywheel removal tools
 

Good morning folks, I've got a 12hp 301 and I am down to the flywheel removal. I'm not sure what I need to do next, Please take a look at the picture, I am curious about the small pulley up front, that has the 4 small
screw holes, What do I need to remove it? I have a Puller for the flywheel
but I assume I need to get this off 1st,

Thanks
Dave

Daniel1962 I can't tell from the pic but the nut or bolt has to be removed on the pulley with the 4 bolt holes in it. Then you should be able to wiggle or tap the pulley back and forth to remove it. It is located with a dowel pin so it might put up a little resistance coming off. Then you have access to the flywheel. Good luck Kelly

Update with a close up picture, Maybe the little swivel bearing has to come out?

Dave

Bearing has to come out and then you'll find a nut behind it that holds the flywheel on the crank. You'll find the service manual in the tech library.

I have never dealt with one that has the swivel bearing in it. :bigthink:

Yep that's how they do the bearing in a QL like a 1200. The 3 pin driver bolts to the four 1/4" bolt holes. You can see it on the Cub parts site, type in 1200 for the model and take a look at the clutch.

How does that swivel bearing come out?

Dave

Just like a pilot bearing in a flywheel. It has to be pulled. Slide hammer is the best way.

On car flywheels I have mostly filled the bearing with grease and found a shaft that fits the bearing ID and hit the shaft with a hammer. You would be using hydrolic pressure to push the bearing out. I don't know if it would work in this application but that's how I remove car flywheel pilot bearings.

Sorry that won't work disregard previous post
