Removal and installation the flywheel or drive plate (Taurus 1 and 2)

Removal

1. Remove the engine (section 5). Remove the clutch and clutch pressure plate.

2 Apply paint marks to the crankshaft and flywheel or drive plate (see figure).



3. Remove the flywheel or drive plate (see figure).



4. Clean and inspect the flywheel/drive plate for cracks and tooth damage. Replace if necessary.

5. On 3.0LV6 engines, the drive plate replacements are balanced at the factory and therefore do not require balancing. If the drive plate is replaced on 3.8L engines, check for balance points or rivets on the drive plate being replaced. In this case, new balance rivets should be installed on the new drive plate in the same positions as on the old plate (E2DZ - 6A32 - A or similar).

Installation

6. Lubricate the threads of the mounting bolts with Ford sealant with Teflon (D8AZ - 19554 - A or similar).

7. Connect the flywheel/drive plate to the crankshaft, aligning the marks. Then install the block plate (see picture), then the bolts. Remember that the bolt holes may be drilled to ensure the drive plate is positioned unambiguously. Tighten the bolts in a diagonal sequence, achieving the required torque in several steps.



8. On models with manual transmission, install the clutch disc (chapter 7).

9. Install the engine (section 5).
