106. Engine Flywheel Installation

Engine Flywheel Installation





Note:
* For manual transmission applications, note the position and direction of the engine flywheel before removal. Mark or scribe the end of the crankshaft and flywheel before component removal. The existing manual transmission engine flywheel must be installed to the original position and direction.
* The flywheel does not use a locating pin for alignment and will not initially seat against the crankshaft flange, but will be pulled onto the crankshaft by the engine flywheel bolts. This procedure requires a 3 stage tightening process.

1. Install the manual transmission flywheel to the crankshaft, in the original position and direction.
2. Apply threadlock GM P/N 12345382 (Canadian P/N 10953489), or equivalent, to the threads of the bolts.





Caution: Refer to Fastener Caution Fastener Caution.

3. Install the bolts.

1. Tighten the bolts (1-6) a first pass in sequence to 20 Nm (15 lb ft).
2. Tighten the bolts (1-6) a second pass in sequence to 50 Nm (37 lb ft).
3. Tighten the bolts (1-6) a final pass in sequence to 100 Nm (74 lb ft).
