2005 Ford Ranger Flywheel Ring Gear Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to Service and Repair the Flywheel Ring Gear on 2005 Ford Ranger?

  A: The procedure for servicing and repairing the flywheel ring gear begins with transmission removal and subsequent removal of the clutch pressure plate together with the clutch disc. Next, take out the flywheel (6375). Heating the flywheel ring gear (6384) above 278°C (500°F) should be avoided, and heat indicating crayons should be used for temperature monitoring during even heating while periodic tapping stops binding from occurring. A proper operation requires using a brass drift to extract the flywheel ring gear gently. During installation, maintain the temperature of the flywheel ring gear below 278°C (500°F) while redistributing the heat with continuous torch motion. Position the flywheel ring gear with its bevelled side toward the rear of the flywheel before returning the piece parts in this order: flywheel, clutch pressure plate, clutch disc, and transmission. Be cautious when working with hot components since you should use tongs or welding gloves together with safety goggles to avoid injuries.
