I am trying to use my spare 50cc engine in my main scooter now. The only problem it has is the oil pump no longer works and the flywheel threads are all stripped and the flywheel needs to be replaced but the shaft is still good and it runs very well.
So as I said above the threads are stripped, all of them, the middle ones for the removal tool and the ones for the fan bolts. I tried using a 3 arm claw to no avail. Would it really be that bad to run with the bad oil pump? I really want to replace it though, I have 5 of them brand new in my parts bin.

That's one of the ways I tried but it didn't work. It kept bending and the threads kept stripping and getting messed up on the fan holes until they weren't holding anymore. |

Well since one of the arms on my claw broke while attempting to remove the flywheel I really wouldn't want to get a tool on loan then have to pay for it because it breaks too. This this is like impossibly on there. To think it isn't even screwed in and it is that strong of a hold.

The same butterfly shaped remover tool as tvnacman has above
rubber mallet
hammer
a brick
various nuts and bolts
hair dryer
rubber strap wrench
screwdrivers and wrenches

Do you guys think it would be a good idea to try to run it around the block a couple times to heat up the engine and then try to take it off, or would the risk of damaging the crank be too great?

I call auto zone you only responsible to bring them back if tool breaks it gets returned for a replacement from company who made it, they have a life time deal warranty like most hand tools.
