How to service and repair the flywheel on Ford Explorer?

Establishing access to the flywheel requires one to detach both transmission components and the flywheel. Total examination of the flywheel requires clean operation. Special bolts created for flywheel installation should be utilized instead of standard bolts because they prevent insufficient attachment. A two-stage procedure needs to be followed for bolt installation into the flywheel: initial tightening should reach 13 Nm (10 ft. lbs.) and subsequent tightening should stop at 71 Nm (52 ft. lbs.). Finally, reinstall the transmission.

How to remove and install a Flywheel on Ford Explorer?

The first step in flexplate removal should begin with the transmission extraction from the vehicle. The second step in this process requires removing eight flexplate retaining bolts which should be discarded. The installation procedure requires fresh flexplate bolts since they represent a torque-to-yield design feature which becomes unusable after initial use. You should fit the flexplate afterward using 8 new bolts in three leveling stages where you first set them to 13 Nm (115 lb-in) before moving to 50 Nm (37 lb-ft) then complete the mounting by torquing an additional 90 degrees. Install the transmission after you have secured the flexplate to its proper position.
