2002 Ford Ranger Flywheel Ring Gear Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to Service and Repair the Flywheel Ring Gear on 2002 Ford Ranger?

  A: Service or repair of the flywheel ring gear requires transmission removal followed by unfastening the clutch pressure plate and clutch disc and concluding with the detachment of the flywheel. Use heat indicating crayons to check the temperature of the flywheel ring gear, which should not exceed 278°C (500°F). Evenly distributing taps on the flywheel ring gear will prevent it from binding before an even heating process allows you to use a brass drift to remove the flywheel ring gear from the flywheel. In addition to installation, remember to move the torch during heating to prevent localized temperature buildup that would exceed 278°C (500°F). Begin by installing the flywheel ring gear with its bevel pointing towards the back using a brass drift before putting back the flywheel, followed by the clutch pressure plate and clutch disc, and completing with the transmission.
