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

  A: The procedure for replacing an engine Flywheel requires users to start by taking out the powertrain then proceeding to remove the driveline support assembly and the Intake Manifold. First put on the en 46326 (EN 46326) Flywheel holding tool before unscrewing the engine Flywheel bolts to extract the Flywheel and reinforcement. The engine Flywheel requires thorough cleaning while you must also perform an inspection. Sealant should be applied to the Flywheel mounting bolts which need to be installed after positioning the Flywheel along with reinforcement onto the Crankshaft. Initial engagement of the bolts should come to 30 n.m torque before performing a second torque phase that tightens an additional 50 degrees with the j 45059 (J 45059) angle meter. Finish the procedure by eliminating the en 46326 (EN 46326) component and then install the Intake Manifold followed by the driveline support assembly and the powertrain.
