Valspar "Ford gray" I did the clutch cover and compared it with a new Stihl ... amazing. I am really finicky, and I really can't tell the difference. Pick it up at Tractor Supply from a response to a post on this site.
Valspar "Ford gray"
Seriously tho, are there alternative gear/wheel pullers for the task that can be had from your basic auto parts store? I'm getting my rebuild feet wet with an
026 that had a roached piston and head which I managed to replace using what
is probably a questionable aftermarket solution, but was a helluva lot cheaper than going OEM. Don't want to burn it right back up again so was gonna replace
the crank seals for good measure since they came with recommended gasket kit for the p/h job -- and the original damage was likely due to an air leak from what I've read elsewhere in the forum.
TIA for any tips.
This thread brings up old, strong, bad feelings...............

I just went by my local Stihl dealer looking for a 038 flywheel puller...They could not find the part listed anywhere???? So the fellow behind the counter proceeds to tell me they never use a puller " all you have to do us tap a screw driver behind the flywheel till it is wedged behind it real good then just beat the crank with a chunk of brass and a BIG hammer" They just pop off he says.....
I think I will still order a puller from some other place...
With the flywheel nut off, you need the puller or you need to have the dealer pull it for you.
No you do not need a puller. Just heat up the flywhell as close to the spindle as possible and tape the shaft with a ballpeen hammer and it will pop off.
