Do you need a flywheel removal tool to remove the flywheel on a 02 rev3? I bought a used bike and it wasn't dried out properly after getting water in the cover and my flywheel is rusted. I was wanting to take it off and repaint it to stop further rust.

This is what you need.

screw this into your flywheel and use an impact wrench if possible to pop the flywheel off.

if you dont have an impact wrench then you may need a flywheel holding tool.

You should be ok with a BIG adjustable wrench on the bit screwed into the flywheel, to hold it steady, and another onto the bolt to effectivle tighten against each other.
