       Removing the flywheel

       This was very kindly written by Michael Whyte-Venables.
       You need to do this to replace the oil seal behind it (MIM
       32x52x10) or to easily get to the neutral switch.
       First slacken the dynamo belt and remove the pulley, allowing
       the belt to dangle.
       It is best to obtain the special tool (25 90 81 00) available
       from Agostini's. Undo the threaded ring in the middle of the
       flywheel (left hand thread) one quarter of a revolution only.
       Then undo the 29mm nut (right hand thread) until it bears
       against the ring. Then with the aid of a soft mallet or a large
       piece of wood strike the end of the tommy bar (placed through
       the special tool) until it shocks loose. Removal of the fly
       wheel allows you to remove the inner flywheel case which will
       make access to the seal easier.
       The bad news is that it may be necessary to split the cases to
       remove the oil seal (readily available from bearing stockists).
       One approach however might be to drill two or three 1,5mm holes
       through the steel body of the seal and then screw in short self
       -tapping screws against the heads of which some leverage may be
       obtained, carefully to pry out the seal. The replacement can
       then, having been obtained, be smeared around the lip with motor
       oil and driven back with a 200mm length of suitable diameter
       aluminium tube. In this way unwelcome schism may be avoided!
