Fly wheel bolt torque


Recommended Posts

Hello. My rear main seal started leaking today so I will be changing it tomorrow

Q1. What is the torque setting for the fly wheel bolts and are they reusable?

Q2. Any tips for doing the job?

Thanks Dave

Tips:

  • Buy 2 seals just incase you mess the first installation up... ( I did) 200tdi is not that easy, I've heard the 300tdi's are easier to do.
  • It pays to use a named manufacturer for this oil seal.
  • When re-aligning your clutch plate, use a (13mm? can't remeber might be bigger) socket on an extension bar to center the clutch plate after installation.
  • The flywheel bolts are very tight... I remeber all my torque wrenches didn;t go up to what it needed, so I just used a big breaker bar with an extension and did them up mega tight, with a good blob of threadlock. (and i reused mine) they'll be a high tensile grade 10 or 12, unless damaged or rusty they should be fine to use again...

Thats about it from what I can remeber last time I did one...
