Thanks, going to have to take the flywheel off but will probably need a puller to do it. Flywheel pullers for old Victa lawnmowers don't seem to be all that readily available. Checked on Ebay but not much there. Could only find one "universal" type for lawnmowers from the US for about $70. Wondering if anyone would know where I could get a suitable type for this in Oz at maybe a more realistic price?
Thanks in advance for any help.
