The flywheel puller was made on the lathe and a drawing for this design can be found by clicking the button.
The three securing bolts must be M6 x 1mm to match the flywheel threads.
The stator extractor tool was made from a single block of metal drilled and tapped to take some M10 threaded rod and two bent finger plates to grip the stator.
One of the finger plates was "nibbled" with a grinder to clear the condenser.
Alternatively the condenser can be removed.
Basic dimensions are shown on the photo.
The crank locking tool is simply an M6 bolt of the correct length which screws into a plugged hole at the front of the engine. Ideally the end of this bolt should have the threads removed so they can't get damaged making it difficult to remove the bolt, but with care a normal bolt can suffice.
