Q: gentlemen after 22 years of faithful service my mariner 115hp in-line 6 outboard needs some repair work other than pm. last weekend i launched the boat and fired up the ob it wouldnt accelerate above an idle. after spending the long weekend on the trailer rather than fishin i brought it home and did some testing. using the fsm it appears i have a bad stator and/or trigger plate which are located under the flywheel on top of the engine. the fsm indicates that a special puller and flywheel holder are required to pull the flywheel to gain access to the stator and trigger plate. not having the special tools and being the cheap sob that i am not as cheap as beekeep mind you! i want to try to pull the flywheel myself. has anyone ever done this job without the special tools if so any tips or pointers anyone would care to offer. i figger with as much expertise as this group has surely someone has attempted this before. mike mike the main thing to worry about is an even pull other wise the fly wheel is toast. 1/4 x 1-1/2 flat bar notched and weld it in the center weld two 1/2 fine thread grade 8 nuts in the center top and bottom. at each end of the flat bar drill a hole and make to accept another piece of flat bar with a notch cut into it that slides over the fly wheel. bolt every thing up tight use a grade 8 1/2 bolt put about 50 ft lbs of pressure on it and with a 5 lb hammer hit the nut end of the bolt apply more pressure and keep bumping it bolt heat it should pop also soak it good with pb penetrating oil. coasty thanks coasty but the fsm states paraphrasing never use hammer blows or heat to remove flywheel... damage may occur to crankshaft or flywheel... this is in big bold type..... it got my attention.... mike mike i think that means dont hit the flywheel with the bfh. tapping the bolt id think would be okay. i woulnt be hitting the bolt with a 2 hander but light taps....... roy .

edward l. dowdy wrote i hate touch pads! i asked the owner of the tire shop to be sure and have the lug nut torqued. he said no problem. they do it by hand. well i have been thinking about this since yesterday when they did it. the guy working on the truck cinches all the lugs with an air impact wrench i had the tires rotated too then goes around and checks the torque with a torque wrench. he didnt just snug it with the impact he tightened it all down. like i said. im no mechanic or tire guy. but this makes no sense to me. i think i should go home and loosen everything and re-torque according to the manual. what do you guys think ed dowdy fithian il if the specified torque was reached or exceeded using the impact driver using a torque wrench afterward would serve only to verify that the lugs are torqued to *at least* the specified torque. not always so the only time a torque wrench reading is accurate is when the fastener is moving. it takes more torque to get a stalled fastener moving than the actual torque when it stopped. iow if the desired torque on a fastener is 60 ft. lbs. and the fastener is actually torqued to 55 ft. lbs it might take 65+ ft. lbs. of torque to get the fastener moving again. therefore if the fastener doesnt move after applying a torque of 60 ft. lbs. it doesnt verify that the desired torque had previously been reached or exceeded. .
