Hey 914World. I am rebuilding a 73 1.7 engine and started taking the motor apart. I have come to the flywheel and pressure plate (I think). I have the 6 bolts out from the plate to the flywheel. Now what? It looks like I should have a spline tool of some sort to remove it? Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance, Clow   |

Don't stand with your toes below the pressure plate, it should just "fall" off with all the bolts removed! The flywheel is held on by 5 bolts; the single nut I think you are referring to is a gland nut for typeI (air cooled VW motors) motor.

It will only fall on your toes after you get it clear of the locating dowel pins between the mounting bolts. Get a wire brush, some PB Blaster and clean it up, then try the gentle prying. |
