I just use a cheap 2 arm puller, works every time. Had to grind down the ends abit thinner that they go under the flywheel.

Next time I do this with one of these Huskys, I'll try the puller routine. With the L series Huskys I'm working on, there's not enough clearance to get a puller hooked behind the flywheel. So I'll have to make up a puller that bolts onto the flywheel face instead.
Why did you want to replace the seal?
And, the poly rope is streachy. Steel chain would be better.
just did that to an 056 and a c-7 homie. worked great. works good with 2 guys when dealing with the bigger saws.I seem to have luck with backing off the nut to where just the very end of the crank is showing, grasping the edges of the flywheel with one hand and lifting the saw by the wheel just off the bench, and giving the crank a solid hit with a hammer. This method hasn't failed me yet...sometimes it takes a few tries but obviously it's easier with a smaller, lighter saw. I would imagine a large saw would need a puller or pry bar.
