6. If equipped with a manual transmission, remove the engine flywheel bolts.
7. Remove the engine flywheel.
Installation Procedure
Important: For manual transmission applications, note the position and direction of the engine flywheel before removal. The flywheel does not use a
locating pin for alignment. Mark or scribe the end of the crankshaft and the flywheel before component removal. The engine flywheel must be
reinstalled to the original position and direction. The engine flywheel will not initially seat against the crankshaft flange, but will be pulled onto the
crankshaft by the engine flywheel bolts. This procedure requires a 3 stage tightening process.
DO NOT remove the prop shaft hub or flex plate from the automatic transmission engine flywheel. The flywheel, prop shaft hub, and flex plate are
balanced as an assembly. If service is required, the entire flywheel assembly should be replaced.
1. If equipped with a manual transmission, align the mark or scribe on the crankshaft with the mark or scribe on the existing flywheel. Refer to
Engine Balancing .
2. Install the engine flywheel.
