2005 Chevrolet Corvette Flywheel Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to Properly Replace and Service an Engine Flywheel on 2005 Chevrolet Corvette?

  A: The process starts with following correct Flywheel removal and installation protocols which defend the engine thrust bearing from damage. Always maintain proper distance between the rear engine part and the composite dash panel while doing the driveline tilt down operation to avoid damaging the vehicle structure. Before removing the manual transmission Flywheel users must place marks or scribe the end of the Crankshaft along with the Flywheel because these parts do not have alignment pins and must install in their initial direction. The engine Flywheel needs three-stage bolt tightening for proper mating with the Crankshaft flange even though it does not make contact instantly. All components of the automatic transmission engine Flywheel serve together as a balanced assembly so keep the prop shaft hub and flex plate intact because a replacement of the complete assembly should be performed rather than separate component service. Start work by taking out the Catalytic Converter followed by the driveline support when using automatic transmission and the clutch assembly when using manual transmission. Move to the next step which entails unbolted the Flywheel engine and then remove the Flywheel engine. During Flywheel installation you should position the Crankshaft mark to the Flywheel mark and then attach the engine Flywheel followed by threadlock usage of gm p/n 12345382 (Canadian P/N 10953489) on the Flywheel bolt threads. After initial tightening of the bolts to 20 nm (15 ft. Lbs.), proceed with a sequence to tighten them to 50 nm (37 ft. Lbs.) and finally to 100 nm (74 ft. Lbs.). You must reinstall the driveline support if your car uses automatic transmission alongside the clutch assembly in cases of manual transmission and the Catalytic Converter.
