  1. Remove the flywheel dowels by using a drift pin where the flywheel dowel is installed in an open hole and a pair of locking pliers where the flywheel dowel is installed in a blind hole.
  2. NOTE: Care should be taken to drive the flywheel dowel squarely into place until it is fully seated and to make sure the surrounding surface areas are not damaged.
  3. Install all flywheel dowels by driving them into place using a brass or plastic mallet.
