Pudge,
When you go to replace the balance wheel pay very close attention to the direction that the lock is on the dive shaft between the clutch knob and the balance wheel.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]576737[/ATTACH]You will need to loosen the set screw on the clutch knob.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]576739[/ATTACH]This is a little newer than a 99. Two of the three prongs on the outside will stop at the set screw when you put it all together. The two prongs on the inside will grab the crankshaft. If you don't keep track of which side faces the needle you will run into trouble. Pay close attention. Then you can wiggle the balance wheel off. May need a bit of oil. I have heard that some of the repro spoked wheels may not fit perfectly. Haven't tried any.
