No, it's regular right hand thread. If you mean an air impact wrench,yes. You'll need a puller for the flywheel. Honda has a T handled one that works excellent but several others are available. Pat Orman.

Thanks for the reply. I posted my question wrong. Can the bolt be removed without an impact wrench. In other words can I mash the brake and use a wrench?

I generally try to use an impact wrench where possible, as it is the best way to prevent damage to my bike. Although when i dont have any choice, i generally use one of these two methods: 1. I have tried the method where you remove the spark plug, and feed an amount of rope into the spark plug hole. Since the rope cannot be 'compressed', the crank will not be able to turn. It is possible to do so with a socket and a breaker bar, or long ratchet. 2. This nut should'nt give you too much trouble here. Some other times i have used a soft piece of metal (eg. copper) to wedge between the drive gear on the crankshaft and the clutch gear. Using this soft metal helps to prevent damage to the gears. Hope this helps. Eyy

Maybe the brake will work. Whatever you do, DON"T use a BIG hammer to pop the flywheel off. Get a puller. Pat.

I fabricated a puller using the drain plug and was not able to get the flywheel to come off. I am going to buy the Motion pro puller maybe that will work better. Frustration...

Wipe the rotor clean and with the "puller" in tight put some heat on the rotor center hub. Propane torch will work. Remember, no hammer. Heat it up and let it set if rotor doesn't come loose. Sometimes it will pop loose when it's cooling down. Oil threads on puller and flywheel. Keeps from tearing the threads up as easily. Good luck, Pat.

When using a puller, tighten it up as far as you can with a ratchet, or spanner. Then, give the puller a sharp knock on its head with a hammer. Once again, tighten the puller and repeat this process. This will help to free the magneto, as it will break the seal (possibly some rust) that has been gradually forming over time. This should not be done in such a mannor that the magneto is in danger of being hit, which will almost certainly cause the magnets to break and crack. It is extremely rare, that on a bike of this age, that the magneto will come off with only the use of a puller. This is the method i have used for years with confidence.

NO HAMMER. True a set of flywheels and you'll know why. Pat Orman.

Pat knows his stuff dont use a hammer its very easy to knock the crank out of true. Untrue cranks love to eat crank seals and cost about 100 bucks to true.

Understand what your saying EYY but a hammer is like a wrench. Until you use a torque wrench enough to know what 15 pounds of torque "feels" like and that a long wrench and a short wrench don't "feel" the same you should use a torque wrench. An unskilled hammer arm can cause problems with the crank is the reason I don't reccomend doing that. I have run into 3 different cranks that NO kind of persuasion I tried[including a BIG hammer]would get the rotor off. Had to take crank out and put it in a press. One of those took 15-20tons of pressure AND heat before it poped. Bent the rotor hub too. Didn't mean to offend, sorry. Pat.

My flywheel is stubborn, I bought the motion pro puller , heated, tapped the head with a hammer, and air wrenched repeatedly and does not want to budge. Unfortunately the timing chain is already off, but I will try to thread the new on without pulling flywheel.

On the T mark. Is the taper still good, not galled? Know how to loosen and reset cam chain tension? Everything should be easy with the cover and rotor out of the way. Pat.

everything looks good, it turns out the adjuster had come out of the adjuster mechanism and that was allowing the chain to make a lot of noise. I am replacing chain anyway even though the bike only has 2000 miles.
