[wasmeneh 0]

Well got the 11 HP briggs out of my 4211, took the cap screw off the crankshaft and needless to say the pulley's don't want to budge. I'm soaking them in PB Blaster as I type. Any tips? heat?.... real big hammer? Thanks in advance Mike Oh... I was reading the how to section and noticed that someone said I could get a replacement diaode for this briggs at Radio Shack any body know what I need to ask for?

Heat and a puller. Concetrate on the pulley hub. At times when you thinks the puller can't take it, is about the time you here a budge. Also, if 11 HP engine is junk, cut off shaft and drive it out with a press or punch and hammer.

HI, We have a round plate with a slot in it that slides ovet the top of the bottom pulley and lays on the flat part. Then we have a large slide hammer that can pull on the plate. We never use it. We just use an air chisel with a bit that has a semi circular end on it. One person pulls down on the pulley and the other "pounds" on the side of the pulley where the crankshaft is. Rarely more than 30 seconds and the come off. If you put penetrationg oil on rust etc before you use the air hammer, it usually slows things. When the rust it dry it powders and frees things up. If it don't then you have to oil. Al Eden
