Flywheel & Clutch Removal - Classic Mini

[@tonyaylott4114]

Randy every day a school day, it's good there are people out there to help, well done 👍

[@LoneStarMini]

Amen brother!! John with Guess Works educated me today. I wish I knew what I learned prior as I would not have had any issue whatsoever. Love learning... sometimes I don’t like learning the hard way

[@Bertsretrorides]

Another great video 👍. I'm catching up 😁

[@LoneStarMini]

Thanks Jon.. I'm thoroughly enjoying my journey.. the engine is certainly new territory...

[@pauljeffries]

Hi randy, success in the end, I'm glad that I could help you out of your spot of bother 👍

[@LoneStarMini]

You’re awesome!! Thanks Paul

[@TheGentlemensMotorRacingTeam]

Randy the quality of your videos are off the scale sir - nice work. That tool looks amazing I think I will have to invest in one of those for myself.

[@LoneStarMini]

Thanks Kevin... the Guess Works tool is outstanding. I did order the KAD flywheel puller, but it arrived in a rusted used condition (no joke). They were upstanding enough to refund, so I ordered the Guess Works. Let me just say that the quality and service is above par. Totally recommend if you ever purchase one.

Great work again very detailed it helps to see which are the best tools to put your money into thanks

[@LoneStarMini]

Thanks Paul!! I am completely sold on the guess works tool and quality !!!

Hé Randy awesome video’s! Thanks for making them. I can’t find you on google. We’re are you in Texas and do you also have short blocks for sale / other parts ?

[@LoneStarMini]

Good day!! I’m in central texas and I’m looking for parts as I go through my restoration. Therefore, no I do not have parts for sale. Had a machine shop screw up my block.. I may have to buy a block myself….

Randy, Glad to see you got the flywheel off i guess this was right after our Whatsapp group chat last night Onwards & Upwards. Cheers Dave

[@LoneStarMini]

Yep... had the flywheel off within minutes after our chat!

[@samikakar]

@@LoneStarMini Hi Randy, can i be added to your whatsapp group too? i live in Houston TX and i have a couple of classic minis that i work on every weekend. BTW you make great videos. Thanks

[@paulrobinson3528]

What a big tool you have Randy! Its that big would it fit in there when the engine is in the engine bay??

[@LoneStarMini]

I believe it would fit with the engine installed in the car....yes. It works incredibly well!!

[@markdraper7]

Great Stuff Randy! I'm doing this exact job this weekend and like you i'm new to it so i'll record it and let people laugh stupidness. 😅

[@LoneStarMini]

Thanks Mark!! One lesson that I only learned today (after the fact) is that the flywheel will only move approximately 6mm before you can remove the tool and pull off by hand. So with the guess works tool, it really is a simple process

[@paulrobinson3528]

I'll be the 1st to laugh at you lol

Good job Randy, when not in the know these jobs can be frustrating. I am not looking forward to starting on the engine.

[@LoneStarMini]

Thanks Brian, I learned a few valuable lessons of which I’m going to post. If I had known prior, removing the flywheel would have been rather simple

[@LoneStarMini]

Wait.... when did you change your KZbin name?

[@MinisUnleaded]

@@LoneStarMini just last week matey, thinking of doing a few different vids

[@Geemodrums]

so what were the issues of driving it too much?

[@LoneStarMini]

@@Geemodrums no real issues here…. It’s the process of learning for me

[@iaguilera67]

I don't think that aligning the slot mattered at all, it is just a clutch, it has nothing to do with timing.
