need help on banshee

[banshee lover 2]

my mechanic tore apart my engine on my banshee and he tells me when he got to the flywheel the flywheel was jb welded to the crank and he cannot get it off, any suggestions? and plus i called the previous owner of the banshee and he tells me that it broke at the dunes and he had it welded

[Ed Gein]

He had the flywheel welded to the crank?...............Doh!.......Best case scenario, he can get the weld off w/out damaging either flywheel or crank.........Worst case: Get ready to buy new parts.........

that sucks, save your money and get ready to buy some new parts.

J-B Weld can only be removed by grinding or filing it off, or by directly heating the product above the 600 degree maximum temperature threshhold. Adding heat in essence forces an overcure. but at the same time there is a high chance of frying your stator, either way flywheels and stock cranks are cheap on ebay

try alittle heat, it works good for alot of problems

looks like you'll be shopping for a flywheel and crank

well i already have a new hot rods crank and flywheel for it, he did try heating it up but had no luck there but hes gonna try it again with a higher temp this time, or he has some hacking to do
