Is this a tool that can turn the flywheel from the starter side with starter removed?

Welcome to the forum. I am shaking down a 1974 Pearson 30 Atomic 4. What a gift MMI, this forum, its active members, and trove of threads have been. Best with your A4 journey. Welcome chance to exchange Pearson 30 notes.

Question for Dave....

If you can get a piece of flat stock or even angle iron between the flywheel bolts you can give a much bigger twist and even a little shock from light banging. Always go one direction and then the other.

Another much better way is to remove the starter and using the starters hole protected with a block of wood or plastic to protect the hole then you can get a small pry bar against the flywheel teeth and give a twist

Dave, is that what this tool is used for?

This came with my Pearson 30 Atomic 4 and I wonder what purpose it serves. Thank you. Tim


, again one direction then the other. If you get a little movement it will work loose. This will give you the most leverage by far!!!
