Default K301 Flywheel Removal
How do you hold the K301 flywheel to loosen/tighten the flywheel nut? I know that the Service Manual says to use a strap wrench, but I don't believe that is possible, since the blower housing and grass screen/drive pulley are installed before the flywheel nut is installed.
Any ideas?
Thanks

I use an air gun to remove the nut,no need to hold the flywheel.Try a sharp blow on your ratchet handle to break it loose with a strap wrench on the other end of the crank.

Years ago I had a 102 project, I do not recommend using an air impact on the nut that holds the flywheel on. I tried this myself on that project and got to add the cost of a new crank to the build. It sheared off the entire threaded portion of the crank, back then a new crank was $160 or so, now they exceed $400.

does it have a flywheel gear on it. If so use a pair of locking pliers on it. Use a harmonic balancer to remove it. You might have put pressure on it with the puller then tap it gently with a hammer. Should pop right off.

When I did it I practically had to stand on it. Some are easy, some aren't.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
