- Remove the engine flywheel bolts.
- Remove the automatic transmission engine flywheel.
- Install 2 M11x1.5 mm bolts (1) into the threaded holes of the spacer, if applicable.
- Rotate the bolts clockwise to remove the spacer.
- Remove the spacer from the rear of the crankshaft, if applicable.
IMPORTANT:
The flywheel does not use a locating pin for alignment and will not initially seat against the crankshaft flange or spacer, if applicable, but will be pulled onto the crankshaft by the engine flywheel bolts. This procedure requires a 3 stage tightening process.
