Instructions for removing dual-mass flywheel
  Note
Do not use an impact wrench or pneumatic wrench to remove bolts -B-: this would severely damage the dual-mass flywheel. The bolts must always be removed by hand.
–  Rotate dual-mass flywheel -A- so that the bolts are aligned centrally behind the holes -arrows-.
–  When removing the bolts, make sure that none of the bolt heads contacts the dual-mass flywheel, as this would damage the flywheel when the bolts are unscrewed further.
