Flywheel Removal

  1. Remove engine. Remove clutch by unscrewing six bolts and spring washers holding it to flywheel. Release bolts a turn at a time to avoid distortion of cover flange.
  2. Three dowels locate clutch cover on flywheel. Unlock and remove 6 nuts and three lock plates which hold flywheel to crankshaft and remove flywheel.
  3. When replacing flywheel, make sure that No. 1 and No. 4 timing mark on flywheel is in line with and on same side as first and fourth throws of crankshaft. A depression in crankshaft flange face is stamped with a similar timing mark. These should be in line with the one on flywheel periphery.
