OK I give up how do you get the output flange off the end of the gearbox !!!!!!!
Gearbox Output Flange
- Thread starter BOB UK
- Start date
with this puller.
i want one myself for when the inevitable happens. i keep forgetting to ask motorworks how much they are. i'd guess about £85.
i dare say, one could be fabricated at home with a welder & an hour or two. i think it would have to be quite strong though.
that's my welding out then

Make one .. if you have a lathe..
Tap the centre with a fine large thread. Four mounting holes around the outside that bolt to the flange. The central section needs to be recessed for the shaft .. it sticks out some. Bolt device to flange (yer can use the old bolts .. yer will be usin new ones to put it back together), put large bolt (that matches the thread you taped) in central section and tighten till it comes off..

can you perhaps bolt a bigger, home made flange to it, then use a big assed 3 legged puller on that??
on reflection i feel my earlier estimate for bmw puller was possibly 1 out.
that would be the 1 before the 8 in £85.

Hi Cookie,
"end plate" isn't a puller it's used to measure bearing -end cover casing end float.....so you can shim the g/box up right....just like bmw

How to remove the out put flange
Go to local B.M.W. dealer stand there for about 2 minutes while 2 big strong boys use the correct B.M.W. tool plus 2 old fork legs and hay presto its off
By the way the bearing on the clutch end of the output shaft had started to break up bad so it’s a good job I got in there when I did
C.W. Motorcycles very helpful and gave lots of good advice much of which involved selling the airhead!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oops sorry have been busy with my own bike, in the future if you need a flange plate to pull it off I have one and more than welcome to borrow it if you whoever pay's the postage to get it from me and back again.
It is a 8-10mm plate with the holes and you need a strong puller and hammer.
Cheers
