Removal Procedure

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.

Important:  It may be necessary to remove the chamfer from the edge of an 18 mm socket to obtain a full socket engagement on the thin headed flywheel bolts.

The flywheel can not be rotated to balance the flywheel to the engine because it can only be installed on the vehicle one way.

  1. Remove the transmission assembly.
  2. Remove the right engine splash shield.

    Important:  Mark the relationship of the clutch cover assembly to the flywheel in order to assure proper balance during reassembly.

  3. For vehicle equipped with a manual transmission, install the clutch and pressure plate and clutch cover assembly.
  4. Remove the flywheel attaching bolt while using J 38122-A  to prevent crankshaft rotation.
  5. Remove the flywheel and retainer.
  6. The thread adhesive must be thoroughly removed from the flywheel.
