• Q: How to replace the engine flywheel on 2005 Cadillac DeVille?

  A: The first step when replacing an engine Flywheel demands transaxle assembly removal. The next step involves placing the Flywheel holder (J 44214) onto the engine block then opening the eight engine Flywheel mounting bolts. Only fasten the top mounting bolt of the Crankshaft while loosening all other seven Flywheel bolts. Slowly pull on the engine Flywheel while removing the last bolt while avoiding any Flywheel drops. Before adding gm p/n 12346004 (Canadian P/N 10953480) or equivalent sealant to the Flywheel mounting bolts the inspection and cleaning of the engine Flywheel should be done. Install the Crankshaft accordingly while positioning the engine Flywheel into place before fastening all the mounting bolts. The first tightening stage of Flywheel mounting bolts should be 15 nm (11 ft. Lbs.). When using the angle meter (J 45059) for the final bolt tightening step follow the gauge to achieve a 50-degree torquespread distribution. Wrap up the task by taking off the Flywheel holder (J 44214) from the engine block then reinstalling the transaxle assembly.
