2004 Chevrolet SSR Flywheel Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the engine flywheel on 2004 Chevrolet SSR?

  A: The replacement procedure for engine flywheels starts with automatic transmission removal during which you need to remember the positioning and direction of the engine Flywheel. The first step in replacing the engine Flywheel involves removing its bolts followed by taking out the Flywheel. A thorough examination of the engine Flywheel should occur before putting it into use. The Flywheel lacks an alignment pin and will not begin seating against the Crankshaft flange or spacer because it receives its position through engine Flywheel bolt force until a 3-step torquing process takes effect. The installation of the Flywheel to the Crankshaft requires using longer Flywheel bolts whenever a Flywheel spacer is part of the assembly. Pin the Flywheel bolt threads with gm p/n 12345382 (Canadian P/N 10953489) or its equivalent product. Perform the following three-stage sequence when tightening the engine Flywheel bolts to reach 20 nm (15 ft. Lbs.) first, 50 nm (37 ft. Lbs.) second, and 100 nm (74 ft. Lbs.) last. Finally, install the automatic transmission.
