Installation Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
NOTE:
  • The flywheel does not use a locating pin for alignment and will not initially seat against the crankshaft flange or spacer, if applicable, but will be pulled onto the crankshaft by the engine flywheel bolts. This procedure requires a three stage tightening process.
  • Certain applications (6.0L) require a spacer and longer bolts for proper flywheel position.
