HOW TO MAKE A 94 ATK 406 FLY WHEEL PULLER
Posted: Tue Jun 12, 2012 6:10 pm
I have a 1994 ATK 406 that needs a lot of work.
I started taking the bike completely apart.
When I got to the point where I needed to pull the fly wheel off I realized that I do not have the correct puller.
Here is a pic of the flywheel on the bike.
It uses a very non standard thread.
So, I went to my parts catalog to order one and no such puller was available.
So I contacted ATK, gave them all my info and ordered a puller.
They were not even sure they could get one.
It's been a few months now and I am tired of waiting so I decided to make my own
The first step was measuring the thread pitch and diameter that I would need and ordering the correct size tap.
Then I went to a local machine shop and gave them a print of what I wanted.
Of course the print I gave them has the measurements
After I get the puller back I will post some pics and let you know how it works.
