2006 Ford F-150 Flywheel Ring Gear Parts Q&A

• Q: How to Service and Repair the Flywheel Ring Gear on 2006 Ford F-150?

  A: Start the flywheel ring gear servicing by removing the flywheel but only allow an expert acetylene torch handler who has proper equipment to perform the removal. A person should use tongs together with insulated gloves when touching the heated flywheel ring gear to protect their body from harm. You should apply a constant pressure while tapping the flywheel ring gear around its edge to stop it from becoming bound during removal. An even heat application of the flywheel ring gear requires the use of a brass drift for removal from the flywheel. Install the flywheel ring gear by keeping its temperature below 278°C (500°F) while monitoring with heat indicating crayons and maintaining a moving torch to avoid heat spots. Position the flywheel ring gear using a brass drift at its proper position while facing the flywheel's rear and complete the procedure by reinserting the flywheel.
