Flywheel weight removal

[gwcrim]

I'm trying to take the FWW off a KX85.  Got the nut off easy with the impact gun but the weight itself is on tight.  I bought a new 16" channel lock, put rope down in the cylinder but even when I stepped on the wrench, it won't budge!

Would it be safe to apply a generous amount of heat or might that melt the stator?  Any other ideas?

Flywheel mags are held on by glue, and plastic..     even if you did avoid the stator...

Have a pic?   trying to imagine what you are dealing with

Pics would be nice.
If I understand you correctly, all you removed was the fly wheel nut?
On a lot of the weights there is 4 small set screws on the outside edge of the weight.
These have to be loosened up.
Even then some are a bit hard to get off.
DO NOT use heat.....

No set screws.  It's just TIGHT.
