Removal, installation and troubleshooting of the flywheel

            0

The flywheel is removed to replace the crankshaft rear oil seal, to replace it if the gear rim is damaged, and to grind the surface for the clutch disc.

You will need: the tools needed to remove the gearbox and clutch, and a socket «at 17» and a large screwdriver.

1. Remove the gearbox (see «Removal and installation of a transmission»).

2. Remove the clutch (see «Removal and installation of clutch»).



3. Turn out six bolts of fastening of a flywheel. At the same time, use a mounting spatula to keep the flywheel from turning by first inserting one of the gearbox mounting bolts into the hole in the engine oil sump.



4. Remove the flywheel.



5. Check the condition of the flywheel rim teeth and replace the flywheel if damaged.




6. Replace or repair the flywheel if on the contact surfaces of the clutch driven disc..



7.... or the crankshaft flange has risks and burrs.

8. You can check and repair the flywheel in a workshop with special equipment. The flywheel runout, measured on the ring gear, should not exceed 0.5 mm. To remove deep scratches and scuffs, the contact surface of the driven disk can be ground, while the layer of metal being removed should not exceed 0.3 mm.

9. Establish a flywheel and all removed knots in sequence, return to removal. Lubricate the threads of the flywheel mounting bolts with an anaerobic thread locker, having previously degreased the bolts and the threaded holes for them. Tighten the bolts evenly in a criss-cross pattern in two steps:


  • 1st stage - tighten the bolts to 30 Nm (3.0 kgf·m);
  • 2nd stage - further tighten the bolts by an angle of 80°.



Note. The flywheel can only be installed in one position by aligning the additional hole in it with the pin pressed into the crankshaft flange.


Note. If possible, replace the flywheel mounting bolts with new ones each time the flywheel is removed.
