    I used to have one but lent it to someone (forgot who) & as Alan says they're thread specific for your bike unless an adaptor can be used. They're about £10-£20 so might be best to buy/hire one? Or flutter your eyes at a local workshop...never worked for me though.;)

    depends on design of the flywheel, sometimes you can use a standard gear puller as dave has mentioned, also some have a threaded hole so you can also use a slide hammer. used this trick on the gs500... what bike is it?

    I'm sure you will have great success Emma;) If you don't, try to measure the diameter of the thread on the flywheel? I have used wheel spindles in the past!!!

    managed to find the service manual online for it, looks like the "official tool" is a threaded rod that has a bolt through the middle that applies pressure to the crank and pushes the flywheel off... and looking at the pics that engine is TINY so should be able to make something up . unfortunately the pics in the service manual are pretty sparse and low quality so hard to see the details.
