Can you buy the aluminum ring gear that goes on a 16 horse briggs flywheel or do you have to buy the whole assembly. I was running mine today and a big chunk broke out. I first thought it had threw a rod. I'm pretty much mechanically inclined. It's a 1981 wheelhorse with a twin cylinder 16 Briggs.Another question can I pull flywheel with a automotive type puller or will I need a special tool.

There should be two holes one on each side of center they are tapped out to 3/8 Just pulled one off with a puller I made but used a impact wrench and hammer on the end of the bolt in the puller. They are very tight. Don't forget to take off the nut. It takes 1 1/4 socket. The fly wheel is keyed on a tappered shaft. If you need the whole fly wheel got on to sell.

Guys, Why won't something like a steering wheel puller work? As long as the bolts can sit in it as close to the center screw as they are on a Briggs flywheel?

A steering wheel puller would possibly work, but most of the time, they are not heavy enough to pull it. The reason a flywheel is hard to get off is because the taper on the crankshaft and the taper of the wheel is different. They have an interferance fit, meaning as you pull them together, the metal moves to mate, but one is always pulling against each other, and that is what locks them together. But with a heavy flywheel like on the 16hp you need a pretty beefy puller.

You can build you own puller with some scrap steel and a drill press. I build most of the pullers I need for B&S or Kohler

Get the model and type number off the engine, some of the ring gears can be replaced. to pull the flywheel, you really need a Briggs flywheel puller, because if you try to pull with a gear puller, sometime you can break the center out of the wheelwhen you pull from the outside, if you pry up on it and then hit on it, you can break the magnets out of the inside of the flywheel
