   Information 

   • Check that the through-bores on the hub of the flywheel are flush with the screw heads. 
   • Screw heads can damage the flywheel when unscrewing them if the bores are not flush. 
   • A damaged flywheel must not be installed! 
2. Loosen and unscrew screws (multiple-tooth, a/f 12, M10 x 29) on the flywheel. Carefully remove the flywheel (it is quite heavy - so be careful).

   The screws are micro-self-locking and must be replaced! 

   Remove adhesive residues from the threaded bores and clean with brake cleaner.

   Allow a drying time of at 'east 10 minutes!
