Install the Flywheel
Warning: Damaging Crankshaft and
Flywheel Can Cause Personal Injury!
Using improper procedures to install the Flywheel can
crack or damage the crankshaft and/or flywheel. This
not only causes extensive engine damage, but can
also cause personal injury, since broken fragments
could be thrown from the engine. Always observe and
use the following precautions and procedures when
installing the flywheel.
NOTE: Before installing the flywheel make sure the
crankshaft taper and flywheel hub are clean,
dry, and completely free of lubricants. The
presence of lubricants can cause the flywheel
to be overstressed and damaged when the
hex. flange screw is torqued to specifications.
NOTE: Always use a flywheel strap wrench or holding
tool to hold the flywheel when tightening the
flywheel fastener. Do not use any type of bar
or wedge to hold the flywheel, as component
damage and personal injury could result.
1. Install the woodruff key into the keyway of the
crankshaft. Make sure that the key is properly
seated and parallel with the shaft.
NOTE: Make sure the flywheel key is installed
properly in the keyway. The flywheel can
become cracked or damaged if the key
is improperly installed.
2. Thread two or three long bolts into the hub of the
flywheel, or use the flywheel puller, to serve as a
‘‘handle’’ for setting the flywheel in place.
