Engine Flywheel - Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Pontiac Sunfire and 2002 Chevrolet Cavalier. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Tools Required: 

  1. Install the flywheel.
  2. Install the retainer if the vehicle has an automatic transmission.
    NOTE: This bolt is designed to permanently stretch when tightened. The correct part number fastener must be used to replace this type of fastener. Do not use a bolt that is stronger in this application. If the correct bolt is not used, the parts will not be tightened correctly. The system or the components may be damaged.
  3. Install the new bolts or apply Adhesive/Sealant Compound GM P/N United States 12345493, GM P/N Canada 10953488 or the equivalent to all flywheel to crankshaft bolts that are being re-used. Carefully follow the instructions included with the thread locking compound in order to ensure proper bolt retention.
  4. Holding the crankshaft balancer with the J 38122-A  , tighten the bolts evenly. Tighten the bolts to 30 N.m (22 ft lbs). Use the J 36660-A  in order to rotate the bolts 45 degrees.
