2008 Chevrolet Impala Flywheel Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: What tools are required to service and repair the flex plate and replace the engine flywheel on 2008 Chevrolet Impala?

  A: The repair work on flex plate and engine Flywheel requires the use of Flywheel holder (J 37096) as the primary tool. The first step involves the removal of an automatic transaxle when one exists. The first step is to secure the Flywheel with the Flywheel holder (J 37096) to stop Crankshaft movement before unbolt the Flywheel nuts. Leaving a single bolt in place at the top of the Crankshaft position, disassemble all Flywheel bolts except the one. With the help of a secure grip remove the remaining bolt from the Flywheel while preventing any contact of the Flywheel from falling to the ground. Thoroughly clean both threads inside the bolt openings as well as bolt hole openings after extracting the engine Flywheel. Position the Flywheel over the Crankshaft before installing the Flywheel bolts one by one without excessive force. The Flywheel holder (J 37096) should be used to stabilize the Flywheel during engine Flywheel bolt tightening to 70 n.m (52 lb ft). To complete the procedure reinstall the automatic transaxle when present.
