2004 Cadillac DeVille Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the Flywheel on 2004 Cadillac DeVille?

  A: The first step to service or repair the flex plate involves removing the transaxle assembly while omitting reuse of Flywheel bolts. You should first take out the 8 mounting bolts before removing the Flywheel with its reinforcement. The engine Flywheel needs cleaning before its placement with the reinforcement onto the Crankshaft. The mounting bolts of the Flywheel require gm p/n 12346004 (Canadian P/N 10953480) or its equivalent sealant material. Weld in place eight completely new mounting bolts before setting their torque at 15 nm (11 ft. Lbs.) on the first torque application. The final passing of Flywheel bolt torque requires an additional 50 degrees measured by the angle meter (J 45059). Finally, install the transaxle assembly.
