Flywheel Removal on a Asplundh Drum chipper

[99busa]

Has anyone removed the chipper drum flywheel on an Asplundh. It is a big beast, and mine will not budge. I understand the cone type press flange behind it, but it isn't moving. I have used the three long bolts to press it backwards so the flywheel can come forward, but ???? Any ideas?

It finally saw things my way. It just wanted to talk to mister Torch.

Why would you want to take it off and do you mean pulley
or blower? Are the bearings shot?

Mister Torch always helps.

Be sure to never sieze the chrap out of all of it when its going back together.
