What is this OMC tool used for?

[billw]

I have one of these and I have to admit, I have not a clue in the world what it’s for. I suspect it’s for something newer and/or bigger than we AOMCI guys normally work on.

Long live American manufacturing!

says it is for pulling FW… the question is which one ! OMC 434649 OEM Marine Specialty Tool Flywheel Puller Kit Evinrude Johnson

Joining AOMCI has priviledges 🙂

This tool is used for removing the flywheels on the 60 degree loop V4-V6 models, it is used on some of the ficht and later model injected models also. These flywheels do not fit on the conventional tapered crankshaft, they just bolt on/studs like a disc brake rotor. You really don’t need any tool to remove the flywheel, except to counteract the strong magnets on the stator. Trying to remove the flywheels without the tool is a good way to cut up your fingers…

You might find it listed in here.

Ah ha….Thanks! That makes sense, as I never had much interaction with the 60 degree loopers, other than gas pouring out of the carbs, a few times. It sounds like the method of flywheel attachment is similar to what Yamaha does on their late-model, larger engines. The tool looks interestingly archaic. I was hoping it was for something cooler than that.

Long live American manufacturing!
