Section 1.12.1
Removal of Flywheel Housing
Remove the flywheel housing as follows:
- Remove eight (8) mounting bolts securing the flywheel housing to crankcase.
- Remove flywheel housing from crankcase.
Note: For vehicles equipped with the MT-654CR transmission, a transmission adaptor ring is bolted to the transmission side of the flywheel housing. It is not necessary to remove this adaptor ring from the flywheel housing. This is a special flywheel housing with the adaptor ring bolted in place to match with the flywheel housing as it was machined.
