procedures when installing ywheel.
NOTE: Before installing ywheel make sure crankshaft
taper and ywheel hub are clean, dry, and
completely free of lubricants. Presence of
lubricants can cause ywheel to be over
stressed and damaged when mounting nut is
torqued to specication.
NOTE: Make sure ywheel key is installed properly in
keyway. Flywheel can become cracked or
damaged if key is not properly installed.
NOTE: Always use a ywheel strap wrench to hold
ywheel when tightening ywheel fastener. Do
not use any type of bar or wedge to prevent
ywheel from rotating, as these parts could
become cracked or damaged.
