Reply To: Oxford Allen Scythe Villiers Mk25c

It’s a shame you didn’t post before trying to remove your flywheel , we could have helped with that. They are “self pulling” ,the nut will loosen , then go tight again , then use a CORRECT size socket and hammer to continue undoing the nut and it will pull the flywheel off , if you have one , an impact gun will do it in seconds but it sounds as if it is too late for that. Any flywheel from a 25c will fit and do the job , although the original Allen ones had a centrifugal govenor cam fitted , they will work OK without it. George at villiersparts may have something that will do the job , other than that it’s a matter of keeping your eye out for a secondhand one.
