2004 GMC Savana 1500 Flywheel Parts and Q&A

• Q: How to replace the engine flywheel on 2004 GMC Savana 1500?

  A: A technician should start the Flywheel replacement procedure by taking out the automatic transmission while recording the engine Flywheel position and direction. After removing the engine Flywheel bolts proceed with removing the automatic transmission engine Flywheel. Afterward clean the engine Flywheel for inspection. Move on to the next step only when you need to apply 2 m11x1.5 mm bolts to the threaded spacer holes before using a clockwise rotation to detach the spacer and removing it from the Crankshaft rear. Put the spacer (if needed) on the Crankshaft rear and install the automatic transmission engine Flywheel as the final step. When using a Flywheel spacer with an application you should use longer bolts specifically designed for such needs and apply gm p/n 12345382 threadlock (Canadian P/N 10953489) or equivalent to the Flywheel bolt threads. You need to tighten the engine Flywheel bolts in this specified order: begin at 20 nm (15 ft. Lbs.), move to 50 nm (37 ft. Lbs.), and complete at 100 nm (74 ft. Lbs.). Continue with the automatic transmission reinstallation process after finalizing the described procedures.
