This is a Briigs & Stratton 18hp cast iron flywheel. I have removed them before but this one is stuck tight! I have the retaining nut off, tried a gear puller to the point of fear of damage, I’ve heated it with the puller on, while banging it with a 2lb hammer!! Any tip or trick is welcome! I’m soaking it now with wd40. Should I try drilling out the flywheel key? Thanks in advance!!!!!
