Q: How to Properly Maintain and Repair a Flywheel on a Mercury Mariner?
A: Service of the flywheel requires vehicle placement on a hoist with NEUTRAL selected while performing work. First remove the manual transaxle along with clutch from the vehicle then proceed to eliminate the 6 flywheel security bolts. Special bolts should substitute standard bolts when installing the component. The flywheel bolt installation requires stepwise tightening of the bolts starting at 50 Nm (37 ft. lbs.) followed by 80 Nm (50 ft. lbs.) and finishing at 112 Nm (83 ft. lbs.). You should reattach the clutch and manual transaxle after securing the flywheel.
