    Having trouble finding a flywheel ring gear for my 1970 maverick 200ci. No new ones, not at my local junk yard.:hmmm: Ive never changed one either. A 2 pc flywheel? really? Any info or tips would b awsome. Also like to reach out to any maverick enthusiast in the Las Vegas area. R there any?

    The gear presses onto the flywheel. You can take the old one off with a BFH and a punch or chisel, or cut it off (don't cut into the flywheel). To install the new gear I put it in an oven for a few minutes at about 500*, take it out and drop into place on the flywheel,, quench with a wet rag.

    Sweet my man! Love the BFH approach.
