• Q: How to service the flywheel ring gear on 2002 Ford Excursion?

  A: You must begin flywheel ring servicing by taking off the clutch pressure plate together with clutch disc followed by removing the flywheel. Private injuries can be prevented by using tongs and asbestos gloves when working with warm flywheel and ring gear. A continuous heating process of the entire ring gear with an acetylene torch should reach 278°C (500°F) according to heat indicating crayons' readings to maintain even warmth. To maintain a smooth motion with the torch handle while removing the flywheel ring gear from the flywheel rely on a brass drift together with a hammer to tap elements evenly before and after installation. The installation process requires the use of asbestos gloves together with tongs during hot component handling. Install the rang gear on the flywheel by positioning its bevel towards the rear first then heat it evenly before using the brass drift and hammer to prevent the gear from becoming stuck in position. Reinstall the flywheel before installing the clutch disc together with the pressure plate.
