I'm tearing down a Scott Bonnar 45 17 inch Twin Rail with the Kirby H4-5A engine (assume this is the same as the HK25 and H30 models). The mower was working when I purchased it a few weeks ago, but I specifically purchased it as a restoration project. It had a new carby but everything else was (or seemed to be) original.
I have already read through a couple of the Kirby engine rebuild threads on this site and downloaded all the manual's for everything from the other threads.. So a huge thank you to those that have traveled this path before me (and I am just a novice).
I'm up to removing the fly wheel (see attached pic). I have removed the hub starter cover and nut, but the actual fly wheel doesn't want to just slide off. Do I need a special tool to remove or just use more force.
Also on the flip side of the engine I assume I have to drill out the oil seal as well. See second image attached.
