    Briggs 12.5 hp flywheel removal
    I have a Bunton com. Stand behind mower that will not fire. The flywheel side looks rusty and want to take it off to brush the rust off. How do you hold the flywheel so you can loosen the crank bolt? If anyone knows of a beter way to take care of this please let me know.
    Thanks, Rob

    You can use an impact wrench to take the bolt off with. But you could just use sandpaper, or a wire bruch on a drill to clean the flywheel. Be sure to use your safety equipment when doing the repair.
