Rotor removal
I'm prepared to get shot down in flames here because this could be a very stupid question but is there any chance the rotor/flywheel on my 1997 XT600 could be threaded? I ask because it refuses to move despite me following all the great advice on here about using heat and a hammer with a pulling rig and protecting the end of the crankshaft. But when I look at the image on the parts page on MSP (shown below) it seems to show a thread pattern inside the central hole. Is this some kind of stepped taper or could it be thread?
If not I’m guessing I need to heat it more or hit it harder – can anyone tell me which is least likely to cause serious damage to the bike? I’m concerned that too much heat might deform the rotor or cause it to blue.
