2008 Cadillac DTS Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the engine flywheel on 2008 Cadillac DTS?

  A: The initial step to replace the engine Flywheel demands transaxle removal. You must install the Flywheel holder (J 44214) to the engine block before starting to loosen Flywheel bolts. Only maintain one of the Flywheel bolts while keeping the Crankshaft-mounted top bolt in place. Hold the engine Flywheel firmly with one hand while taking out the final bolt and avoid letting the Flywheel fall. The engine Flywheel requires cleaning followed by examination for any damage. Sealant should be applied to the Flywheel bolts before carefully resting the engine Flywheel against the Crankshaft position. The first bolt tightening phase should be at 30 n.m (22 lb ft) but the final turning sequence involves another 50 degrees tightening using the angle meter (J 45059). Finish the repair by taking away the Flywheel holder (J 44214) from the engine block then install the transaxle into position.
