2009 Cadillac DTS Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the engine flywheel on 2009 Cadillac DTS?

  A: The first step to replace an engine Flywheel requires removal of the transaxle. Place the (J 44214) onto the engine block after which you should loosen the Flywheel bolts. Keep one bolt in position at the Crankshaft after uninstalling the remaining bolts from the Flywheel except the top one. Secure the engine Flywheel with one hand before pulling out its last bolt without letting the Flywheel fall out. The engine Flywheel should first receive cleaning treatment before receiving inspection procedures. The first step involves using sealant on the Flywheel bolts followed by setting the engine Flywheel directly against the Crankshaft. The first tightness of the Flywheel bolts should be 30 nm (22 lb ft) using (J 45059) but finish with another 50-degree tightening using the same torque wrench. To conclude the process replace (J 44214) from the engine block and install the transaxle.
