- Install the spacer (if applicable) onto the rear of the crankshaft.
- Install the manual transmission engine flywheel to the crankshaft, if applicable.
- Install the automatic transmission engine flywheel to the crankshaft, if applicable.IMPORTANT: Longer flywheel bolts must be used on applications using a flywheel spacer.
- Apply threadlock GM P/N 12345382 (Canadian P/N 10953489), or equivalent to the threads of the flywheel bolts.
