  Q: How to service and repair the flywheel ring gear on Ford Excursion?

  A:

  The repair of the Flywheel ring gear begins with removing the clutch pressure plate along with the clutch disc and then continuing with the flywheel removal. Wearing asbestos gloves and using tongs is necessary when working with hot flywheel and ring gear due to the risk of personal injury on failure to follow this protocol. Heat crayons indicating temperature levels will help ensure the flywheel ring gear stays below 278°C (500°F) while keeping the torch continuously moving to prevent overheating in specific areas. Even distribution of taps against the flywheel ring gear stops binding when removing it from the flywheel. To perform this task, evenly heat the entire flywheel ring gear followed by driving out the flywheel ring gear from the flywheel using a hammer and brass drift. Asbestos gloves combined with tongs should be used when working with hot installations. Apply heat evenly to the flywheel ring gear so its bevel faces the backside while you distribute the tapping points so the gear prevents installation resistance. Reinstall the flywheel before putting on both the clutch disc and pressure plate.
