So I decided to make a puller. I removed the brake rotor and took it to work during the hottest part of the day(My ice necklace made the ride bearable). I looked through the left over material and found a 1/4" thick piece of aluminum about 8"X10".
I used the rotor to draw 3 of the 5 holes, then center punched and drilled 3/8" holes and took it home. I went to Ace and bought 3, 10X1.25mm bolts about 2 3/4" long. I laid the plate against the shaft and used the bolts to pull the wheel off.
As I was turning the bolts it didn't seam like it was going to work. The plate started to bend and then snap. That was the sound of the wheel moving just a little. I tightened the bolts some more and got it to snap again. I used some washers on the bolts and tried again, the plate bent again but no snap. So I hit the plate where the shaft is and the wheel moved some more. After 3 more times the wheel came off. That sucker was tight
.After I finished with the wheel I changed the belt/rollers. After I loosened the nut on the drive pulley, the pulley was stuck
. So I went to Ace and bought a 5/16-18 tap and tapped the holes in the pulley. Then I drilled two 3/8" holes in the plate, put a socket on the end of the crankshaft and pulled the pulley off in the same manner, but it wasn't nearly as stuck as the wheel.So unless my scoot is the only one that is stuck, anyone thinking DIY with a BV350, you might want to have a way to make a puller available.
