Villiers mk25 flywheel issue
Hello
currently having a bit of trouble with a Villiers mk 25 fly wheel. In the picture shown there are 3 screws inside this thing( I don't even know what to call it) on the flywheel. They will move quite freely about a quarter turn and then are solid in both directions. I am unsure about giving them a bit more force until I know a little bit more. Any help would be amazing!

Thanks for the reply.
Thanks for the reply.
At least I won't have to worry about it then. So my follow up question would be what is the best way to approach taking off the flywheel? It seems different to anything I have dealt with before.
As per Hortimech’s reply
As per Hortimech’s reply above but when the flywheel is off just try working those screws back and forth a fraction of a turn at a time while flooding them with penetrating oil and even adding some from behind, they probably have corrosion up their threads.
The centre nut undoes with a conventional thread - anti clockwise, but after a turn or so will go tight. You then have to apply further force to activate the self extracting feature that frees the flywheel from the crank.
Why are you trying to remove
Why are you trying to remove them ? The flywheel can be removed with the starter cup still fastened to the flywheel.
