Flywheel removal

Re: Flywheel removal
The trans is laying on the floor under the jeep, the surfaced flywheel is on
the bench, the clutch and bearings are in the mail. The driveshafts and
exhaust are on the floor, the carpet and access panels are out, and my head
hurts.
I've been working 12-14hr days so I wont have any time to slam it all back
together untill saturday. Still confused how to install the pilot bearing
and throwout bearing. What I'm guessing is the pilot bearing is in the
flywheel, not the crank. Also unsure how I'm going to actually put it the
trans up there.
The re-install of the clutch seems straightforward. Bolt the flywheel back
on, torque to 15lbs, 30lbs, and 50lbs. Install the clutch disk and pressure
plate, torque to 23lbs. Pull out the alignment tool, get a good workout
getting the trans and t-case assembly back up there.
still interested in that drink, Robb? :-D

Re: Flywheel removal
You are going to need a puller for the pilot bearing and it is in the
center of the works or in the end of the crank. Don't miss the oiled
pad or you will be doing the job again in a short time.
You should remove the flywheel and have it turned so it isn't grabby.
Once you have the flywheel out, you will see the big center hole where
the crank fits with the pilot bearing still sitting there in the end of
the engine.

"Carl Saiyed" Also unsure how I'm going to actually put it the trans up
there."
Without a transmission jack it is hard to put one in. You can try balancing
it on a floor jack but take the chance of damaging the transmission if
dropped. They make an adapter that fits a floor jack that you can use to
pick it up.
Before I bought one for about 50 dollars, I tried lifting them up manually.
I even laid a set of double stack 2 X 10 across the fenders and used a
scissors jack to lift the transmission. I secured a chain to the
transmission and to the frame of the vehicle.I then ran the chain over the
scissors jack which was placed on the 2 X10. I then cranked up the
transmission. As I ran out of lift, I would block the transmission with
wood and lower the jack. Choke up on the chain and repeat process. Once at
the right height, I then stabbed the transmission in position and bolt it
up.

Without a transmission jack it is hard to put one in. You can try balancing
