Had a look at the yammy service manual and in addition to the flywheel puller they use, they also have a crankshaft protector. Can't see what it looks like tho Possibly a threaded spacer ?

Will I also need to protect my crankshaft ? What with ?

I'm takin' the engine over to a mate's workplace as he's got a puller and a slide hammer so don't wanna waste my journey if I do need the crankshaft protecting.

Never used a crankshaft protector....that don't mean ya don't need wan though. No idea wot it is.

Slide hammer...good.....puller....good.....he might need a smidge of heat and cursing too.

One of mine came off easily enough, the other bent me puller, made me swear and took a while.

[Studley Ramrod]

Okeedokee I'll have an idea of what's going on when I've got the puller in me hands. A bit concerned about using it as I don't wanna trash it if at all poss.

Currently designing me a rotor stopperer, had a look at BrianVG's photos

the crankshaft protector is just a bit of metal with a dimple in it to protect the threaded tapered nose of the shaft, doesn't really have to screw in either. It stops the puller shaft rolling the first thread over.

I think we will have to make a few of these for the club and send them to all four corners of the country to be held the Carpe trusted member tool storer to be loans out for a nominal deposit. Cost bugger all to make once we have sizes etc.

Whilst we are at it maybe a set of fork seal tools as well could be held in this way. Sort of like a club tools scheme.

High Heat and shock is bad for magnets gentle persuasion with a hide mallet is ok though. Don't bash it too hard or the magnets will cease to be er magnety.

I got one from Thor the King of hammers, hide one side copper the other.

When I took mine off I left the rotor bolt in but undone a couple of turns to protect the end of the crank and alow the rotor to come free but not fly off!!
Mine was a real nightmare and needed the oxyacetaleen on it to get it to shift and when it went it sounded like someone had been shot!!

On the nighmare scale I'm prolly around the 'possible disturbed sleep' level

TIP,
when buying socketry get 1/2 inch drive unless it's 8mm AF or something. 19mm at 3/8ths is just asking to twist it off. I like impact sockets too, nice and strong. Always get six sided as opposed to the more usual crinkley 12 sided jobbies, they grip better.

To hold things you need a rotor holder, seen one somewhere on fleabay.

EDIT:
Mine is like this but got modified with a flat belt to hold bigger things.

No, I was trying to hold a flywheel in a Lister diseasel, in a boat not a motorbike, In this case about a two foot diameter one but a bit of flat drive belt fixed it so I made a few of varying lengths to fit any possible job.

Teased the bolt out using the 19mm wheel brace and my handlebar extensionerer ! Only thing I could find to slip over the brace was me spare set of handlebars.

Did I mention the snow ?
