Removal Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Pontiac Sunfire and 2004 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 (bevel) from the edge of an 18 mm socket in order to get full socket engagement on the thin headed flywheel bolts.
Do not orientate the flywheel to the crankshaft. It is balanced separately from the engine.
  1. Remove the flywheel attaching bolt. Use the J 38122-A  to prevent crankshaft rotation.
