Literally the entire reason I bought a 3d printer. Waiting for shipping on a super cheap part feels like such a waste. so instead I spent 200$ on a 3d printer and 40$ in filament and upgraded the printer to the point that I can easily produce 1$ parts in a matter of hours as opposed to days. I am just too impatient.
Awesome mentality. You actually typed "a $7 part that can be bought for a $1.50." That would make it a $1.50 part in my world. Anyway, that puller is the exact same style as an old Triumph 650cc clutch hub puller, and they are way more than either price you use. At least be halfway realistic if you are going to attempt being snarky.
@@hyperluminalreality1 You're missing the point. There's no snark in that comment, just commiseration/shared enthusiasm for a hobby. FWIW, his prices are pretty accurate too. If you search "motorcycle flywheel puller" on that river website you can find one for $8 with next day delivery included. I imagine if you look further afield with more patience you could find it much cheaper.
I would definitely wear a shirt that says "the first rule of wasting a whole morning making stuff you could buy a lot cheaper for club is we don't talk about wasting a whole morning making stuff you could buy a lot cheaper for club" Not saying I'd buy one, but I might waste a whole morning making one.
But would it be a lot cheaper if you bought it? That is the nagging [hypothetical] question that inquiring minds want to know. I may have overstated that. I can't really speak for others. My inquiring mind wants to know, and I never can get it to shut up...
Wander Instead off buying a shirt that says, “the first rule of wasting a whole morning making stuff you could buy a lot for cheaper club is we don’t talk about wasting a whole morning making stuff you could buy a lot cheap club”, I plan to waste a whole morning making the shirt that says,” the first rule of wasting a whole morning making stuff you could buy a lot for cheaper club is we don’t talk about wasting a whole morning making stuff you could buy a lot cheap club”.

So you made a tool you don't need for a job that wasn't necessary for an adjustment you can't do. But you got a click from me, so I guess it was worth it!
I have an old , rare, up-down magnet my father gave me that works on wood, well, on hardwood anyway. What sort of idiot would expect a magnet to work on pine?

I know so little about engines, when that flywheel popped off I thought "Hey that's not an engine, that's a brushless electric motor....Why is Tony calling it an engine" Then had to do some Google searching to find out motorcycle engines use a stator and permanent magnets on a flywheel (basically a brushless motor run in reverse to create AC current) that then gets rectified into DC to charge the battery instead of the all in one rotor style alternators you usually see in cars. I'm sure this is common knowledge for most of you here...but I just learned it anyway.
As a bike (bicycle) mechanic, I wasn't sure what a flywheel puller would look like. But when you were done, I recognized the fine oversized crank arm puller you had made.

You *could* use those, but then you'd still have to buy/make a proper puller to get the distorted flywheel off to fit the new flywheel you'd have to buy.
@@liquidsonly I think the technique is to not pull the flywheel off with those but to merely take up the slack with a fair bit of tension - then, using a punch on the centre sfat, tap it lightly with a 300lb hammer.
I believe that long bolts in those threaded holes will just bottom out inside and push the flywheel off. I'm pretty sure that I saw a surface for that between the coils
Tony, you have a precision honed comedic style and I like the cut of your (crosslide) jib. The practical knowledge you grind out is always dialed in. Well at least within a 100 thou, give or take 10 thou.
Recently I questioned my existence and fell into a deep abyss of madness and depression but 4 weeks later ToT releases a new video. I don't know what those 2 things have in common but what I do know is that you can get a flywheel puller for $20
That is what I was thinking. Don't you just drive two screws in against the housing and pop the pulley off? There might not actually be a good surface behind those threaded holes though.
@@court2379 They seem to line up with stout button head screws, so yeah, probably would have been a FAR easier (but less entertaining for us) method of flywheel extraction.
Change to a upside down tool holder quick when you reverse the lathe back to the start. Cut going both ways equals half the time. Fyi...time is money in machining Tony.
@@TheMetalButcher What about my idea? Since each tool always works in the same direction, it could be adjusted to account for backlash in the lead screw. Granted that it would not save much time, since the return would have to be slow and it would require more setup time. But it may have some "look ma, no hands' value...
This Old Tony. One of the people responsible for the sentence in my CV which says "can also operate and do basic maintenance on 3-axis mills if required". I'm a software engineer. The things I normally work on don't even exist in the physical sense of the word.
@@Cheepshooter14 I think he meant to take one single ball from a ball bearing and put it on the tip of the bolt to reduce friction as the crankshaft's end is center drilled to 60 degree. A proper flywheel puller should have that, the crappy chinese tool producers are omitting it. This might probably be the cause you don't see them. In this case tony was to excited to get the darn magnet off ... Love it!
Some folks will just never know the satisfaction of taking $3000 in tools, and $2 in scrap and making a $7 part that can be bought for a $1.50

Pulling the fly-wheel off the bike seems like such a pain...
Why didn't you just pull the bike off the fly-wheel?
Technically, he didn't make a 'flywheel puller.' He made a 'bike pusher.' The difference is subtle, but real.

Pro tip: when the timing is adjustable on the stator, you can usually access the bolts through the holes in the flywheel.
Where's the fun in that?

I want to go to that summer camp! Should I bring my own bandages?
Maybe some eye protection too.
6:16 Very subtle, but I beat you to it. Notifications ON!
Haha I didnt catch it. Well done
Tony, you have a precision honed comedic style and I like the cut of your (crosslide) jib. The practical knowledge you grind out is always dialed in. Well at least within a 100 thou, give or take 10 thou.
Everytime the threading tool made a pass, my brain added typewriter noises. Good video as always.
love the vid :) watched it all the way thru :)
6:00 "Either it came off or we broke something." Never said that before!
Yeah, that hit a bit close to home.
Recently I questioned my existence and fell into a deep abyss of madness and depression but 4 weeks later ToT releases a new video. I don't know what those 2 things have in common but what I do know is that you can get a flywheel puller for $20
Your videos always make me happy.
Why does that heat/lubricant pipe NOT have googly eyes on it?
Is “subscribe” a good brand of engines? I never hear that before 🤣
Your video has been posted for an hour and already over 51,000 views! Dude to rock! Nice work Tony. Enjoy the rest of your Memorial Day!
the two threaded holes in the pulley, i wonder what those are for.....
That is what I was thinking. Don't you just drive two screws in against the housing and pop the pulley off?
There might not actually be a good surface behind those threaded holes though.
@@court2379 They seem to line up with stout button head screws, so yeah, probably would have been a FAR easier (but less entertaining for us) method of flywheel extraction.
Change to a upside down tool holder quick when you reverse the lathe back to the start. Cut going both ways equals half the time. Fyi...time is money in machining Tony.
Two-start threads with offset starts are only for people who don't know if they're coming or going. ;-)
Better yet, mount another tool on the far side of the piece, that engages it when the front side one is pulled away.
Doesn’t work back lash in lead screw sloppy threads bad idea
@@robthesultan Bingo. Robin seems to be the only machinist here. You'll destroy your threads.
@@TheMetalButcher What about my idea? Since each tool always works in the same direction, it could be adjusted to account for backlash in the lead screw.
Granted that it would not save much time, since the return would have to be slow and it would require more setup time. But it may have some "look ma, no hands' value...
I like the subscribe on the cylinder casting 😂
Nice one 👍
This Old Tony. One of the people responsible for the sentence in my CV which says "can also operate and do basic maintenance on 3-axis mills if required". I'm a software engineer. The things I normally work on don't even exist in the physical sense of the word.
For future reference a finer thread like m10x1mm would give you less of that "I feel like I'm going to break something" feeling.
and a ball bearing to push on.
@@sydneyshinshi "It's all ball bearings these days." - Fletch
@@Cheepshooter14 I think he meant to take one single ball from a ball bearing and put it on the tip of the bolt to reduce friction as the crankshaft's end is center drilled to 60 degree. A proper flywheel puller should have that, the crappy chinese tool producers are omitting it. This might probably be the cause you don't see them. In this case tony was to excited to get the darn magnet off ... Love it!
