Flex Plate: Service and Repair

Engine Flywheel Replacement

Removal Procedure

1. Remove the transmission. Refer to Transmission Replacement (LM4)  (See: Automatic Transmission/Transaxle/Service and Repair/Removal and

Replacement/Transmission Replacement (LM4)).
Important:  Note the position and direction of the engine flywheel before removal.

2. Remove the engine flywheel bolts.
3. Remove the engine flywheel.
4. Clean and inspect the engine flywheel. Refer to Engine Flywheel Cleaning and Inspection  (See: Engine, Cooling and Exhaust/Engine/Service and

Repair/Overhaul/Component Service and Inspection/Engine Flywheel Cleaning and Inspection).

Installation Procedure

Important:  The flywheel does not use a locating pin for alignment and will not initially seat against the crankshaft flange, but will be
pulled onto the crankshaft by the engine flywheel bolts. This procedure requires a three stage tightening process.

1. Install the engine flywheel to the crankshaft.
2. Apply threadlock to the threads of the flywheel bolts. Refer to Sealers, Adhesives, and Lubricants  (See: Engine, Cooling and

Exhaust/Engine/Specifications/Mechanical Specifications/Sealers, Adhesives, and Lubricants) for the correct part number.

Notice:  Refer to Fastener Notice  (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Fastener Notice).
