All in all, in order to get to the transaxle, the car must be lifted and surely supported by hydraulic jacks; the pressure plate and clutch disc must be pulled out in the case of vehicles equipped with manual transaxle. Dependent upon design, make alignment marks on the flywheel/driveplate and crankshaft with a center punch or paint them so as to enable correct alignment on assembling them again. Take off the bolts connecting the flywheel/driveplate to the crankshaft and attempt to block the spinning of the flywheel with a screwdriver. Slowly unthread the flywheel / driveplate , supporting it when the last bolt is ready to come out, and observe the position of spacers on both sides of driveplate in automatic transaxle equipped vehicle's. In installation, clean the flywheel removing all grease and oil, and examine it for damages.T o check for warpage use a straight edge on it. Check, clean and inspect the mating surfaces of the flywheel/drive plate and crank shaft Replace the crank-shaft rear seal if it is leaking. Place back the flywheel/driveplate to sit on the crankshaft sprocket with the markings made earlier to assist in the alignment and apply some thread-lock on the bolts before tightening to the recommended torque in a diagonal pattern. Lastly, to finalize the installation process, reverse the actions that were previously mentioned under the removal process.
