Q: How to service and repair the flywheel on Ford Focus?
A: You need to start flywheel servicing by placing the vehicle into NEUTRAL position followed by hoisting the vehicle before continuing. You should start by removing the transmission before proceeding with the clutch assembly extraction. The next step requires you to detach the bolts holding the flywheel before extracting the flywheel from the system. The manufacturer specifies that engine balancing is unnecessary for new flywheel installation thus balance weights should be omitted and special installation bolts need to be used. Special-purpose bolts should replace standard bolts during the installation process. Check the pilot bearing condition for replacement. Follow this sequence to install the flywheel by bolting it first to 50 Nm (37 ft. lbs.) then to 80 Nm (50 ft. lbs.) and finally to the recommended torque of 112 Nm (83 ft. lbs.). The process to install the clutch assembly begins after securing the flywheel before moving on to the transmission.
Q: How to service and repair the flywheel on Ford Ranger?
A: Service and repairs of the flywheel will start with transmission disassembly and possibly clutch handling. The first step requires removal of all bolts while simultaneously extracting both the flexplate or flywheel. There is no need to perform engine balancing on a new flywheel so do not place balance weights on the part. Install the specified bolts instead of regular bolts during installation procedures. Test the manual transmission pilot bearing before replacing it with a new one. Begin by installing the flywheel or flexplate before tightening its bolts in three defined stages up to 50 Nm (37 ft. lbs.) followed by 80 Nm (50 ft. lbs.) and concluding at 112 Nm (83 ft. lbs.). The first step should be clutch installation followed by transmission reinstallation.
Q: How to service and repair the flywheel on Ford Mustang?
A: The service process for the flywheel starts with clutch removal. The service starts with bolt removal and subsequent flywheel extraction. When installing the flywheel only specific bolts are authorized for use because regular bolts are unacceptable. The 8 bolts need installation on the flywheel while following a specified torque sequence during two tightening phases. The first stage requires bolting at 13 Nm (10 ft. lbs. torques) before proceeding to the second stage that requires 71 Nm (52 ft. lbs. torques). Finally, reinstall the clutch.
