M35A2 Flywheel Weight

[maxspeed3]

I was doing the research but I still couldn't find it. Does anybody know the weight of the flywheel on the M35A2? I need to pull mine off to get it resurfaced before I install the new clutch.

I was reading the TMs and there saying I need to pull the radiator off and a few other pieces to pull the flywheel. That doesn't really make sense why to pull off a bunch of other things just to take off the flywheel....

You apparently have the TM written by the Onion.

To pull the flywheel, the trans, bellhousing ring, pressure plate, and disc have to come out.

I don't know how heavy it is, but it's heavy enough that it's no fun putting it back in place.

It also only goes on one way, so mark it relative to the crank to make reassembly easier.

Also, there is a thread about the weights of all deuce items, so once you get an answer, you need to find that thread and post the info there. We're trying to keep all the weights info in one place.

It weighs a bunch. I can weigh one when I get home about 1pm today.

Awesome thanks. I already have the trani pulled and the pressure plate and the clutch disc are also off. I need to get the flywheel resurfaced after the clutch fried (see my other thread for more info). I planned to mark it with a sharpie or something.

Once I get the weight I'll be sure to look for that thread!

Thanks again!

Awesome thanks! I just want to know what I'm getting myself into or if I need 2 people...

 

[gimpyrobb]

No, you can do it by yourself, just know that they are not light. I will post up when I get home.

Dang...I was guessing 65 pounds.

I never would have thought 94#.

Thanks! Didn't expect it to be that much...

Yep...94lbs. sounds right. When I had mine resurfaced, it BARELY fit on the machine...like by a half inch. Be careful when lifting it and setting it down because it is heavy enough to remove a finger lol. Also be sure to have a soldier B with you when removing/installing it on the engine. Doing it by yourself is really hard, tedious and dangerous...ask me how I know.

 

[maxspeed3]

Yea I'm planning on bringing my neighbor down, he is a mechanic.
What you you guys say for a proper break-in period for the new clutch or doesn't it really matter?

 

[SMOKEWAGON66]

I dont think break in on a clutch is important...but Im not a licensed mechanic lol....Other then the engine and transmission, I usually just put parts on and go...works for me.
