Hey, since on my last post a lot of people said they had a hard time getting the fly wheel off to get to the stator. I want to go ahead and start trying and get it off before my new stator comes in. I think I remember reading on one of these threads that someone said to use a 3 inch pulley and that worked out well. Does anyone out there know what the right size pulley is or the best one to use. I have a friend that says he has quite a few pulleys and I am going to see if he has whatever size you guys recommend.

What makes you think that a pulley would work if you cant get it off with the correct bolt!?

If you are in the LA area i can take it off for you.

no, i'm not in LA I am in Houston, TX area.

While you can try a 3 arm puller what you are suppose to use is the pusher bolt that screws into the rotor and pushes on the crank.

The problem you will have with a 3 arm is where to grab onto on the rotor.

Motion Pro actually makes a tool for this job. It's a single bolt that screws into the center of your stator and basically pushes it off. Sometimes, however, this does not work. When I removed mine, I had to use a 3-jaw puller. And even then it was a pain in the ass. That's about the hardest part about removing the stator. After it's out, just follow the wires, disconnect them and she's out.

Here's the part number for the stator removal bolt. You can order it from www.mrcycles.com YM-01080-A
