A - Guide Studs M10 by 100 mm 2 Start By:
Remove the flywheel. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Flywheel - Remove" for the correct procedure.
Keep all parts clean from contaminants.Contaminants may cause rapid wear and shortened component life.
There are five types of flywheel housing that can be installed on the engine. The removal procedures for all types of flywheel housing are similar but all the installation procedures are different.Ensure that you use the correct procedure and the correct grades of bolts for your application.
Illustration 1 g06059374
Typical example
Remove bolts (2) from Positions (X) in flywheel housing (3).
Install Tooling (A) into Position (X) to flywheel housing (3).
Install a suitable lifting device onto flywheel housing (3) to support the flywheel housing. The weight of the flywheel housing is approximately 40 kg (88 lb).
Remove remaining bolts (2) from flywheel housing (3).
Remove bolts (1) from flywheel housing (3).
Use the lifting device to remove flywheel housing (3) from the cylinder block.

Tightening sequence of Type (E) flywheel housing
Ensure that bolts (1) and bolts (2) are clean and free from oil and grease. Ensure that all threaded holes in the cylinder block are clean and free from oil and grease.The threads of the bolts and the threads in the cylinder block must be clean and dry to prevent too higher torque being applied.
Install a suitable lifting device onto the flywheel housing. The weight of the flywheel housing is approximately 40 kg (88 lb).
Use the lifting device to align flywheel housing (3) with Tooling (A). Install the flywheel housing to the cylinder block.
Install bolts (1) and bolts (2) to the flywheel housing.
Remove Tooling (A). Install remaining bolts (2).
Follow Step 11.a through Step 11.b to tighten bolts (1) and bolts (2) in the tightening sequence that is shown in Illustration 5.
Tighten bolts (1) to a torque of 78 N m (58 lb ft).
Tighten bolts (2) to a torque of 63 N m (46 lb ft).
Check the alignment of flywheel housing (3) with the crankshaft. Refer to System Operation, Testing and Adjusting,
