Can't you take it apart? I've had the flywheels off of all my presses,
granted none are that big but the process is the same.

I'd sure give it a go, first, methinks...bound to be quite a bit cheaper
in materials and likely faster, besides...

Is it harder to remove a flywheel from an 8" shaft? My 60t is about 4"
and we pull it at least every 2 years. Next time the bush will have to
be replaced.

Its not hard at all if you have a forklift capable of lifting the
flywheel and a coupe hydraulic jacks..or even a couple simple screw
jacks

Its far harder to put the ******* back on unless you put your gum in
the proper corner of your mouth

We just get a forklift near and Robert's your father's brother.

It worked with a #5 acetylene tip, took 20 min of hard work
