How should I clean and store the tool?

Troubleshooting
Flywheel does not loosen
Ensure the puller is fully seated and screwed in properly. Double-check that all locking bolts on the flywheel hub (if applicable) have been removed. Apply penetrating oil to the crankshaft and flywheel taper if the fit is very tight, allowing it time to work.
Tool threads stripped
This is often caused by cross-threading or forcing the tool. Ensure the tool is being screwed in straight and that the thread size matches your flywheel exactly. Inspect the flywheel's thread for damage as well. If the tool's threads are damaged, it may need replacement.
Difficulty protecting crankshaft thread on KTM/Husqvarna/Gas Gas
Ensure the OEM bolt is used and screwed in *exactly* flush with the crankshaft end. If it protrudes, it will not provide the correct support. If unsure, consult your motorcycle's service manual or a professional.
