Tools – flywheel puller

– by Ian Moorcraft

A flywheel puller is an essential part of the A7 toolkit. For comparison, is an original ‘Austin Motor Company’ Austin Seven Flywheel puller, this one was originally used in a Bristol ‘Austin’ main agents workshop.

Currently available new flywheel pullers are thicker steel plate than mine made in 1963, so even though not as robust as the originals they will be more than adequate for the job.

Mine has removed a good number of flywheels over the years, and is now only very slightly bent.
