Tools Required

*

Removal Procedure

1. Remove the transaxle. Refer to Transmission Replacement Transmission Replacement (2.4L (LAT) W/ME7)  (See: Automatic

Transmission/Transaxle/Service and Repair/Removal and Replacement) and Transmission Replacement  (See: Automatic

2. Have an assistant install the J 38122-A, and a breaker bar to the crankshaft balancer in order to prevent the flywheel from rotating when loosening

the flywheel bolts.

Important:  It may be necessary to remove the chamfer (bevel) from the edge of an 18 mm socket in order to get full engagement on the
thin-headed flywheel bolts.

3. Loosen, remove and discard the flywheel bolts.

Important:  Do not orientate the flywheel to the crankshaft. It is balanced separately from the engine.

4. Remove the flywheel.
5. Clean the thread adhesive from the flywheel bolt holes. Use a nylon bristle brush to clean the holes in the crankshaft.
