    Removing flywheel

    When I took the flywheel off my mini I needed to use a flywheel puller. Is this the same case with the Bora? (2L manual)

    They appear visually the same, however I don't want to purchase the tool without me needing it.

    Thank you.

    Nah, just un-bolt it. Can't remember if it's bolts or some big old 12 point splines.

    I've unbolted it. 5 or 6 17mm bolts but there isn't anything happening, can't get it off. Is there a trick to it?

    Gently tap it around outer circumference, repeatedly at 180deg positions. Make sure you don't knock off the starter motor ring gear.

    Just popped over to my neighbor and he has a flywheel puller. This might work. *Evil laugh*
