I need to remove the flywheel on a Briggs and Stratton 5 hp engine to replace the sheer key. I have done this before, but I can’t remember if the threads on the shaft are right hand or left hand. I have removed the cover and part of the pull cord start assembly. The body keeps the flywheel on and I have not been able to un screw it! The engine is back firing through the carberator that I’d how I know it has jumped time.
smithron4 just checked on one of mine. “righty tighty lefty loosy” So CCW to loosen the nut should work
