CBR 929 Flywheel removal/installation - How?

[ben10281]

I would like to pull the flywheel off my CBR 929. I have the puller tool on order. As I understand it, as I turn the puller, it pushes on the spindle that the flywheel is attached to and in essence "pulls" the flywheel off the spindle it is on. However, upon installation, will I need something to press the rotor back onto the spindle or do I just place it on the spindle and then screw the flywheel bolt(10MM) back on?

I have the service manual but all it says is remove flywheel with tool, then install flywheel.

Any info you guys could pass along in regards to the removal and especially the installation of the flywheel would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Ben

It's most likely a tapered shaft. The puller should come with both threaded inserts and blank smooth pins. The smooth pins are for pulling the flywheel off, the threaded inserts are for putting it back on (if needed).

Once you get the puller tool on and fairly snug (with the smooth pin), tap the end of the puller tool with a ball peen - the shock will pop the flywheel off. You may have to repeat this a few times to get the flywheel released enough to take it off by hand. The snug/tap/resnug method is a lot more gentle on the parts then just cranking down on the puller and having the threads do the work. If you overtighten the puller - the threads can cause you to be pulling at an angle.

Putting it back on - it may slide on far enough to get a good bite from the nut (I use a washer with a bit of grease on it between the nut and the flywheel to prevent marring up the flywheel. The washer needs to be removed and then the nut is put back on and torqued). No matter what make sure it is going down in straight and square. If you need to use the puller it gets set up with the threaded insert that matches the crank end.

The first time you use a puller set it looks like a box full of useless confusing junk. And the instructions are just as confusing. Take your time, play with the various bits and pieces - you'll figure it out. Good luck...

Ok sounds good! Thanks for the info. I will try that and see how it works. My biggest concern was that I didn't want to get the thing off and then find out I needed some sort of press to get it back on. It sounds like the bolt that is on it now will snug it back onto the tapered shaft.

Thanks again!!
