Hy How Are You
I Have Many Time Open EU30is or Eu65is . Thanks For Sharing in Picture Wire Every Steps. I Had Not Agree Your Step, No 76.
Step No.76 (Be careful not to insert the screwdriver too deeply into the slot, or you will damage the stator.)
Not Agree, Please Use Fly Wheel Stoper Holder. or Special Tool, Thank You.
Allah Blessings You.
I too think step 76 is a recipe for destroying the flywheel. The shock and distortion of using a flywheel puller in this manner will cause the magnets to break away from the flywheel. Instead undo the flywheel bolt a few turns and use a thick bar of metal with 7mm holes to coincide with the recoil cup holes in the flywheel. Use bolts through the bar into the threaded m6 recoil cup holes in the flywheel to put a bit of pressure on the flywheel nut with the bar. Then tap the bar sharply with a hammer above the flywheel nut. The flywheel will disengage easily. While doing this be careful that the bolts do not go far enough into the flywheel to damage the windings. You should be able to align the threaded holes with the heads of the bolts holding the stator to protect against this possibility.
