Installation Procedure
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2007 GMC Yukon XL, 2007 GMC Yukon, 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2007 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2007 Chevrolet Avalanche. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
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 three stage tightening process.
- Certain applications (6.0L) require a spacer and longer bolts for proper flywheel position.
- Install the spacer, if applicable, onto the rear of the crankshaft.
- Install the flywheel and bolts to the crankshaft.
- Apply threadlock to the threads of the flywheel bolts. Refer to Sealers, Adhesives, and Lubricants for the correct part number.
- Tighten the flywheel bolts.
Tighten:
- Tighten the bolts (1-6) a first pass in sequence to 20 N.m (15 lb ft).
- Tighten the bolts (1-6) a second pass in sequence to 50 N.m (37 lb ft).
- Tighten the bolts (1-6) a final pass in sequence to 100 N.m (74 lb ft).
- Install the automatic transmission. Refer to Transmission Replacement for the 4L60-E or Transmission Replacement for the 4L80-E.
IMPORTANT:
Longer flywheel bolts must be used on applications using a flywheel spacer.
