2010 Chevrolet Corvette Flywheel Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the engine flywheel (except LS9 and LSA) on 2010 Chevrolet Corvette?

  A: Before changing the engine Flywheel (not including LS9 or LSA), users need to remove the catalytic converters. Part number () fits the left side of the assembly and part number () belongs to the right side installation. The removal of the driveline support assembly becomes necessary when an automatic transmission is present. The procedure for removing clutch assemblies in manual transmission vehicles requires part number (LS9) or (LS3/LS7). Before extracting the Flywheel it is important to mark or scribe its end in order to ensure proper installation alignment since the Flywheel relies on original placement and direction instead of a locating pin. The procedure starts by removing engine Flywheel bolts followed by engine Flywheel removal when the transmission is automatic. Before installation of the engine Flywheel users must align the crankshaft marks with Flywheel marks. The threadlock needs application to the Flywheel bolt threads using the listed part numbers accessed in specified sources. The appropriate torque sequence for engine Flywheel bolt installation starts with 20 nm (15 lb ft) followed by 50 nm (37 lb ft) and finishes with 100 nm (74 lb ft). The driveline support needs reinstallation for automatic transmission vehicles followed by clutch assembly replacement for manual transmissions before installing the original catalytic converters with their associated part numbers.
