Okay, I really do not want to pay someone $400 to replace my flywheel and I live at an apartment where you can not work on your car.
So I have a fast solution. The fan has an Allen Bolt. I know this sounds crazy, but drill a hole in my firewall (yes, I know having a hole in the firewall in not a great idea) but anyway, drill a hole in the firewall, get a foot long externion with the correct Allen Tool (greased up so it can come out when the engine ignites) and have a Socket Wrench on the other side so you can turn the engine to start it. Ideas, thoughts. I know I am crazy, but I miss my 914. |

jack up car.
Remove the following items. Drive axles. Muffler. Tranny ground strap Starter motor Shifter rod Speedo Cable (disconnect from tranny, move out of the way) Clutch cable (ditto) Put a jack under the rear of the motor. remove the rear tranny mounting bolts. lower motor a bit, rear of tranny will now drop. Unbolt the tranny to motor bolts. Now, the tranny weighs about 60-75 lbs. I can do this on my back...but you may want to use a jack to help. Pull the tranny off the motor, but never NEVER rest the motor on the flywheel pilot bearing. So when you start pulling, always hold the wieght, never let it hang. It needs to come out about 2-3 inches to pull the drive shaft our of the motor...then all the wieght is yours, so be prepared. Lay it down on the floor. Remove the pressure plate and clutch remove the flywheel. Reverse direction for installation. Rich |
