GS 400 E, flywheel removal

[Guest]

Hey guys, I’m having a hell of a time getting my flywheel off.
I posted the same question on our Facebook page.

I have tried everything to get this thing off. The diameter of the hole to fit a tool in is 12 mm.

•Blind hole slide hammer, the attachment broke.
•front and rear wheel spindles, both don’t fit.
•other pullers for automotive, can’t make it work/it doesn’t reach.
• I bought a motorcycle flywheel puller set, they don’t fit.
•The dealer doesn’t loan tools
•I have pondered on making a tool.

I haven’t found a tool for it online.

What do you suggest?

Maybe if you brought your motorcycle to the dealers service department, they might be able to remove it for you. Just curious, why do you need to remove it?

I’m thinking that yours is like my 650....you need a tool like in link, that screws into flywheel and pushes on crank. Be patient with light taps on tool after some turning to help free it. Avoid excessive blows as you got a plain bearing crank. Check dimensions,as motion pro makes a bunch of these

Im doing an restoration build on my bike.
I have lots of time with this COVID 19 thing happening. I'll figure it out.

I went to the Fastener store to make one like Tom's link for a Honda.. but Suzuki says use this slide-hammer tool for a 450-also looks buildable...flywheelPuller.jpg
