Flywheel — removal and installation (Peugeot 305)

1. Remove the engine from the gearbox and disconnect them (see sections 19 and 20) (or remove the box).

2. Make reference marks and gradually loosen the clutch basket bolts. Remove basket and clutch disc (see photo).



3. While holding the flywheel from rotation with a screwdriver inserted between the teeth of the starter crown and the gearbox mounting pin, unscrew and remove the flywheel mounting bolts. Remove flywheel from crankshaft. Control marks are not needed, because there is a dowel pin on the crankshaft flange. When installing the flywheel in place, new bolts will be required.

4. Clean the contact surfaces of the crankshaft and flywheel.

5. Install the flywheel on the crankshaft, making sure it fits on the pin.

6. Apply thread locking fluid to the threads of the bolts, insert them and tighten to the correct torque, holding the handwheel so that it does not rotate (see pictures).


7. Install the driven disc and clutch basket.

8. Install the gearbox (and engine if removed).
