Hi guys, Wanted to tell about my way to replace the Flexplate without removing the transmission or the T-Case. Some members say that you
just can replace the tranny bolts with longer ones so you can push the transmission back from the engine. Its a fairly good plan but you can´t get any 3/8" thread bolts in germany quick and cheap. I went and used 3 jackstands instead. One placed under the t-case, one under the tranny pan and one under the engine oil pan. First of all, I unbolted the exhaust from the headders just to have a bit more space while working. Second I unbolted driveshafts from the the t-case and
the t-case crossmember from the frame. 3. Lowered the whole engine transmission t-case assembly down so you can reach the upper bolts on the bellhousing a bit easier and took them out. Make sure you don´t stretch any wireing or lines or break anything in your engine compartment while lowering. 4. Pushed the whole engine transmission t-case assembly back up in its original position. 5. Removed the converter bolts and the last bolts which connect the tranny to the engine
aswell as the electrical connectors and speedo cable on the t-case and transmission.. 6. Simply push the car foreward enough so that you can reach the flexplate bolts. While doing this its better to work with 2 ppl so you can rise and lower all 3 jackstands together consistantly. When you replaced the flexplate go ahead and put everything back together in reverse order. Hope I can help some guys and save some time, nerves and money. Greetings, Redneck92 Heck if you would have given me your address I would have sent you some 3/8" bolts. That is way to much work for me. How much time did you have in that job? We have no problems getting metric bolts in the USA. I am glad you got it done. But man that was the

Well done Herr Redneck92!! Rick Can you just change a flywheel?While a solid flywheel can be removed and resurfaced at Mr Clutch Autocentres by undergoing a skimming process, which can save the car owner a lot of money, wear characteristics on a dual-mass type, which tends to be fitted to more modern vehicles, lend themselves more ideally to the good practice of replacement.
Do you have to pull motor to replace flywheel?The engine is bolted directly to the transmission, with the clutch and flywheel in between. You need to either pull the engine, drop the transmission.
How long does it take to replace a flywheel?Depending on the model and make of the vehicle, the average time for flywheel replacement is between five to nine hours.
How hard is it to change a flywheel?Changing the flywheel is a complicated and time-consuming procedure. It requires disassembling the gearbox and the clutch assembly to gain access to the flywheel. When replacing the flywheel a good idea is also to inspect the bearing supporting the crankshaft and the flywheel seal and to replace them, if necessary.
