Introduction

This guide shows how to remove and replace the cast aluminum flywheel on the Honda HRS216K6 lawn mower.

Drain the fuel from the fuel tank before you begin this procedure. Any fuel remaining in the tank will spill out. Be ready to contain any spillage.

You may need a blowtorch to help heat up and loosen the flywheel.

    • Before you begin, make sure the engine is switched off and cool to the touch.

    • Grab the plastic housing at the end of the spark plug wire and pull firmly to disconnect it.

    • Turn the fuel cutoff valve to the off position to restrict fuel flow during disassembly.

    • Turn the fuel cutoff valve clockwise so the handle becomes vertical.

    • Caution: The flywheel may come loose at any time during this step, potentially sending itself and the puller into the air. Before you begin this step, be sure to wear PPE.

    • Use a universal puller to loosen the flywheel from the tapered pressure fit on the end of the crankshaft.

    • Attach the universal puller arms underneath the denoted "puller" sections on the flywheel.

    • Use a wrench to torque down the puller to slowly loosen the flywheel.

    • This may take a lot of force.

    • If the flywheel seems to become stuck after significant pressure is applied with the universal puller, use a blowtorch to slowly apply heat where the flywheel contacts the crankshaft.

    • The flywheel will "pop" off the crankshaft once loose.

    • Remove the flywheel.

    • If the flywheel became deformed at all during the last step, it will need to be replaced before reinstallation.

    • During reassembly, make sure to align the flywheel with the flywheel key.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
