Used impact to remove fly wheel and put new one on as the fins got broken when the nuts holding the carb off came and damaged the fly wheel and the starter springs and cogs. Also had to replace the hub starter that the pull cord turns to start the engine. It was simple as its only held on with one Torx screw.
