GOSHAWK 11. TOOL KIT. X4083

The details of the friction flywheel hub which is fixed to the crankshaft shows a radius and chamfer. It was not appreciated that the collar was left for withdrawing purposes. We still consider that it would be a more satisfactory job to have this part threaded.

I think you are optimistic when you mention a Garages being provided with withdrawing tackle.

There is also a row of studs which we think would most probably foul any standard withdrawing tackle.
