Full details
The Apico Flywheel Puller M26x1.0 is a specialized tool designed for KTM motorcycle owners who need to efficiently remove their flywheel. Its primary benefit is simplifying a potentially difficult maintenance task, saving time and reducing the risk of damage. A key caveat is its specific compatibility, as it is *not* suitable for all KTM models, particularly the 65 and 85 series. This tool facilitates easier flywheel removal for specific KTM 4T (post-2015) and 2T EXC models.

FAQs
What KTM models is this flywheel puller compatible with?
This puller is designed for KTM 4-stroke models after 2015 and 2-stroke EXC models. It is specifically *not* suitable for KTM 65 and 85 models.
What is the thread size of this puller?
The thread size is M26x1.0.
Can I use this puller on a non-KTM motorcycle?
No, this tool is specifically designed and manufactured for compatible KTM models with an M26x1.0 flywheel thread. Using it on other brands or models could cause damage.
How do I properly use the flywheel puller?
After removing the crankshaft nut, thread the puller into the flywheel and gradually tighten it. The puller will exert pressure, safely separating the flywheel from the crankshaft taper.
What should I do if the flywheel is very stubborn?
Ensure the puller is correctly installed and tightened. You may need to apply a penetrating lubricant to the crankshaft taper and allow it to sit for a while before attempting to use the puller again. Gentle tapping on the end of the puller (not the flywheel itself) might also help break the seal.
How should I clean and store the puller?
Wipe the puller clean with a dry cloth after each use to remove any grease or dirt. Store it in a dry environment to prevent corrosion.
What does MPN stand for?
MPN stands for Manufacturer Part Number. In this case, it is FLYWHEEL M26x1.0, which helps identify the specific tool.
Troubleshooting
Flywheel does not budge when puller is tightened.
Ensure the puller is fully threaded into the flywheel. Double-check that the crankshaft nut has been removed. Verify the puller is the correct size for your flywheel. Apply a penetrating oil to the taper if seized and allow it to soak before retrying.
Puller threads seem difficult to engage.
Clean the threads on both the puller and the flywheel thoroughly. Ensure you are not cross-threading by starting the engagement by hand. Verify that this is the correct puller for your specific KTM model.
Puller feels like it's slipping on the flywheel threads.
Inspect the puller threads and flywheel threads for damage or debris. If threads are stripped on either part, neither will engage properly. Ensure the puller is fully seated and tightened squarely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility Check: Before use, verify that your motorcycle is a KTM 4-stroke model manufactured after 2015 or a 2-stroke EXC model. This puller is *not* compatible with KTM 65 or 85 models. Ensure the flywheel thread is M26x1.0.
Setup:
- Ensure the motorcycle is safely supported and the relevant engine covers are removed.
- Clean the threads on the flywheel where the puller will engage.
- Carefully thread the Apico Flywheel Puller M26x1.0 into the flywheel by hand to avoid cross-threading.
- Using an appropriate wrench, gradually tighten the puller. This action will push against the crankshaft end and draw the flywheel outwards.

- Store the puller in a clean, dry place, preferably in its original packaging or a protective bag.
- Inspect the tool for any signs of damage before each use. Do not use if damaged.
