Tools Required

J 45059 Angle Meter
Removal Procedure
1. Remove the transaxle.
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.
