i know this is an old post but ive come across something i hadnt seen before with a villiers flywheel.
i just picked up an old worn villiers engine. its timing was slightly out. when i went to remove the flywheel i started undoing the nut and the whole nut itself came off. it had been snapped off by the previous owner. i can only assume that when it got to the 2nd sticking point instead of releasing the taper it snapped the nut instead.
my question is how now do i get the flywheel off. i am thinking of using my big puller. its pretty obvious now that ive had a good look at it that its been a problem as there are a lot of damage marks all over the flywheel (i guess from previous attempts of removal)i dont want to add to this.


If my collection is complete ( then how come i keep buying stuff ? ) 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
