After taking off the recoil starter and associated tinware what size or sort of puller should I get to be able to remove the bowl shaped flywheelK

It's a non-sparker so I need to get at the points.
Do not put off thanking people when they have helped you, as they may not be there to thank later.

If it is anything like the few times that I have had to do this job I found that a few taps with a wooden mallet or hammer and wooden block would do the job. The flywheel was on a tapered shaft and loosened quite easily. Some of these are cast iron so don't strike it directly with a metal hammer otherwise it will crack.
