I need to remove the flywheel on my 1935 "D" to fix an oil leak. I have read some real horror stories about installing the flywheel and cracking it. What precautions do I need to take so this does not happen? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Cheg, no more than any other mechanical job that involves a heavy cast part.
~Don't beat on it with a hammer, [use a puller in the two holes].
~Make sure the splines are clean on both the crank & inside the flywheel.
~Mark the flywheel to crank position before removal so it goes back on the same. [make sure to line the pin on the flywheel with the slot in the spacer]
~If it won't come off easy, resist the urge to put a pry bar in the flywheel slot.
~Don't drop the flywheel [I always put a piece of 3/4" plywood under the flywheel when pulling to assure it won't hit concrete while removing]. I don't usually pull them by hand anymore as I can't lift like I used to.
~When reinstalling, tighten the bolts/nuts evenly & about as tight as you can [within reason] with a 2' cheater bar on your breaker bar/extension. [I use a 3' cheater, but it can be overtightened with a 3 footer] ~After running for an hour or so re-tighten the flywheel nuts using a 2' cheater.
~Use 3/4" drive extension, socket & breaker bar or the correct flywheel wrench, a 1/2 drive set-up will twist too much & you will loose too much torque...

Clooney,

After I got mine all taken care of..I notice the flywheel wiggles while running. The crank seems to run very evenly, no wobbling. I wonder if I blew it by not paying enough attention to the tighting the bolts eveningly. If you think there is a problem, I'll run the thing at RPMs at about 1/2 throttle...and if the JB gives out I'll make sure I follow the tightening pattern as you descibed. Cheg, take this guys advice, he's smart and gentle with us beginners. Thanks Clooney!!! JD60
