Q: How to replace the engine flywheel (MA5) on Chevrolet Colorado?
A: The first step to replace engine Flywheel (MA5) involves removing the clutch assembly followed by retrieving the Flywheel bolts which are disposable. The next step requires removal of the Flywheel which needs proper cleaning as well as inspection. The installation process requires positioning the new Flywheel onto the Crankshaft according to service precautions that specify the fastener notice. Place the new Flywheel bolts in position before torquing them to 25 nm (18 ft. Lbs.). Install the clutch assembly after you use the j 45059 angle meter to rotate the Flywheel bolts to 50 degrees.
Q: How to replace the engine flywheel on Chevrolet Malibu?
A: A mechanic must take out the transaxle before starting the engine Flywheel replacement task. An assistant should use (J 38122-A) and a breaker bar to install them to the crankshaft balancer to keep the Flywheel from spinning when removing the Flywheel bolts. The edge of an 18 mm socket will require chamfer removal when using it to engage thin-headed Flywheel bolts. The engine balancing process requires discarding the Flywheel bolts after their removal without allowing the Flywheel to face the crankshaft because it remains balanced independently of the engine. Utilize a nylon bristle brush to cleanse thread adhesive from Flywheel bolt holes found on the crankshaft before positioning the Flywheel onto the crankshaft. Place the Flywheel on the crankshaft before tightening all new Flywheel bolts to a moderate torque. An assistant should use (J 38122-A) and a breaker bar attached to the crankshaft balancer to stop the crankshaft rotation during Flywheel bolt tightening. Use (J 45059) tool to tighten Flywheel bolts to 53 nm (39 lb ft) and achieve an additional 25-degree angle. After you detach the (J 38122-A) along with the breaker bar put the transaxle into position.
Q: How to replace the engine flywheel on Chevrolet Tahoe?
A: The first step for engine Flywheel replacement requires automatic transmission removal followed by careful note taking of engine Flywheel orientation before the operation. The next step involves taking off the Flywheel bolts following removal of the Flywheel. The spacer removal from the Crankshaft rear requires clockwise rotation of two m11x1.5 mm bolts installed into the threaded holes of the spacer. Start by placing the spacer at the Crankshaft rear when needed before applying the Flywheel and its bolts to the Crankshaft. Also use extended Flywheel bolts with spacer installation. Slight threadlocking liquid such as gm p/n 12345382 (Canadian P/N 10953489) or its equivalent must be applied to all Flywheel bolt threads. Proceed with bolt installation onto the Flywheel by starting with 20 nm (15 ft. Lbs.) torque followed by 50 nm (37 ft. Lbs.) and finishing at 100 nm (74 ft. Lbs.). Reinstallation of the automatic transmission should be the next step after finishing this procedure.
