Is there a puller or something to pull the flywheel off of the motor.

I have tried the screw driver under the flywheel and motor.
I keep bending the armature.

Thanks,
Dale
 
I hope you haven't bent the motor shaft, it will be extremely difficult to straighten it accurately if so.
 


bnsf971, I just bought one of those from Micro Mark.

toot, I think I messed up the hole in the flywheel.
It will not stay on now.

Unfortunately this is a job where there is a right way and the only wrong ways do damage. If the shaft is bent even by the slightest bit (you won't detect that by eye), the flywheel will wobble and cause vibration when turning at speed, just like an out of balance wheel on a car.
