Hello i got this tiller for free and its problem was no spark. The coil pack does not have a connector up top so to replace/remove I have to take off the flywheel. The issue with that is in front of that there is a aluminum bracket that was part of the recoil system. After soaking the aluminum bracket in oil for a few days it would not come off with a puller. So like the impatient person i am i put heat to it and melted it (facepalm). I cannot find the model information anywhere Model # Gil 1585D Ser # 526202 534

That bracket that you heated is the clutch for the rewind. Take a small hammer and flat punch and unwind it counter clockwise. It is threaded.

Crap that would explain it than. Thanks all

Standard issue and not hard to find on these! ---- I hate breaking a part on something that is a "special made-- one of a kind thingy"!! --- You got lucky this time lol!!!

No problem. Save the little round balls. Their hard to find. Let me know if you need a new used one.

I am going to guess the flywheel would also be threaded than? Or would it be a press on. There are two threaded holes next to the shaft for what looks like a puller.

You have to pull the flywheel off --- the threaded holes are for a puller ---- be careful when pulling, as you can strip the threads out and not get the flywheel off!!! How do I know???? dont ask!
Some of them are a bear to get off and some pop right off! Be careful and you will be fine with it!

Where you meaning the balls or the aluminum clutch? Cause i obviously need the clutch, saved the balls though.
