1. Block flywheel. To do this, attach a suitable toothed segment toothed segment 201a  or toothed segment 9538/1  to a screw hole in the crankcase so that at least one tooth engages with the starter teeth. Place a washer (approx. 5 mm) under the segment if necessary.

   CAUTION: Heavy components

   • Risk of squashing

   → Wear personal protective gear.

   → Get someone to help if necessary.

   Information 

   • To make it easier to re-install a used flywheel, use a felt-tip pen to mark the crankshaft stub and flywheel before removing it. This makes it easier to install it again later. 
   • If the flywheel is stuck, loosen it by levering it at the sides with two screwdrivers and then remove it. 
2. Remove flywheel. To do this, loosen the fastening screws crosswise.
