OK what's the trick to remove the 3 bolts that hold the recoil plate to the flywheel? I know they are 5mm but I can't get them to budge. Do I need to heat them to release the locktite? will this damage the flywheel magnets?
 
I use a 18v dewalt cordless and started it on a low setting so it would ratchet and keep moving to a bigger number and let it ratchet and soon they will release............. mine were phillips head screws.........
 
Soak them with a good penetrating oil. Use a new allen wrench so you get a good hold on them since if you strip out the heads you will have a bigger problem. Be VERY careful applying heat to the flywheel since if you overheat the magnets they will lose their magnetic strength. You could warp a wet shop towel around the outside of the flywheel to keep the magnets cool while you heat the allen bolt. I would work on them one at a time by applying heat then hitting the bolt with penetrating oil. A couple of heating/soaking cycles should help loosen them up. Just be careful with the heat.
 
Stator

Dont Have Time For This. It's Going To The Dealer Tomorrow So I Can Rip The Suspension Out Ot The Apex And Go Through It.
 
to get the rotor/flywheel off you just need to remove the one nut on the crank. there is a key that holds it and its pressed so you need a puller to get it off. then the stator should be held on with 3 philips head screws if you cant get them out try to spin the edge of the head with a chisle and hammer
 
make sure not to hit the rotor as a tap can demagnatize it that being said I tap the flywheel of my johnson boat motor with a hammer and it hasnt demagnetized yet but I have a spare in case.
 
Yes you do need the 3 bolts out to use a puller! They are red locktited in there so they are a pain in the @ss Try tightening them a little this may help break the locktite. I use a torch and a wet cloth to keep the flywheel cool!
 
if you use a pully puller hook the hooks on the edge of the flywheel worked for me. This way you dont need to remove the 3 bolts.

If your dead set on removing the bolts, use a heat gun it is sufficent to soften the lock tight.
