Guys I heard a "Z's" axle nut is apparently the same thread pattern a the flywheel shaft......38mm x 1.5mm thread pattern. If so I am going to make a tool on the lathe and weld the nut to the fixutre so in return I have a homemade flywheel puller. Can anyone verify this???????Also does anyone have a SPARE axle nut laying around that I could buy. Thanks!!!!

Yes it does. Here is a quick search.....Search link

THANK YOU! I thought of this idea last night while I was trying to go to bed...and today I thought man you know what I bet someone has already tired this idea lol...=-)


The pictures dont load on my computer do they one yours?

im in need of a flywheel puller asap!!! i searched and read about the axle nut flywheel puller so i decide to price the axle nut. i was looking on bikebandit.com and there are two differnent axle nuts so im unsure if which one i need. on the left side there are two axle nuts that are $28. the second one is on the right side of the axle and its only $8. so do i need the nut from the left side or the right side??? im assuming the left side but dont want to order the wrong one.

(sorry about jumping in your thread with questions instead of answers, i figured it would be pointless for me to post a new one when u got one with a similar topic.)

it the one on the sprocket. you can buy a puller off ebay for around 40$. i would pay the 40 before i paid 30 for a nut then spent hours in the shop fabbing the rest to save the 10$

yeah i agree. i'll just buy one. i was hoping it was the cheaper nut.

either of the nuts work just fine. I'll sell you a nut for $5, I think thats what a shipping envelope is

the nuts by the sprocket are sold as a set. the one on the right that he is talking about is by the brake hub

yeah the brake hub nut works too. I have all 3 and either of them would work.
Let me add some more info. The inner sprocket hub nut, and the brake hub nut both work the way they are. The outer sprocket nut threads on a few turns, but to be safe I would just grind down a little on the part that isn't threaded just so it threads onto the flywheel a bit more and is safer

good info to know... good job there kev. there you are again with another save. i need to start keeping track of this

well i think i got a puller. my g/f's dad made one on the lathe. havent tired it yet but i think it'll work. if it doesnt work for some reason i'll take you up on the offer for that nut if 4-Strokin doesnt need it. thanks.

Man its all yours! I forgot all about posting this discussion.

steering wheel puller works for me. if you have one and long bolts try that.
