Removal
1. Remove the gearbox as described inchapter 7, then remove the clutch assembly as described in chapter 6.
2. Prevent the flywheel from turning by blocking its ring gear (figure 5.2). Alternatively, install and bolt a strip of metal between the flywheel and the cylinder block/crankcase. Do not attempt to lock the flywheel using the crankshaft pulley locking tool described in paragraph 3.
3. Remove the flywheel mounting bolts. Remove the flywheel from the end of the crankshaft. Don't let it fall, it's very heavy. If the dowel pin on the end of the crankshaft is not damaged, remove it and store it in a safe place along with the flywheel. Discard the flywheel mounting bolts; when installing, new ones should be used.
Inspection
4. Inspect the flywheel for scoring on the surface mating with the driven clutch disc, as well as for wear or chips on the teeth of the ring gear. If the flywheel-clutch mating surface is scratched, the flywheel can be reground, but replacement is preferable. To find out if regrinding is possible, please consult your Peugeot/Citroen dealer or engine repair specialist. If the ring gear is worn or damaged, the flywheel must be replaced as the ring gear cannot be replaced separately.
Installation
5. Clean the mating surfaces of the flywheel and crankshaft. Remove any traces of locking compound from the threaded holes in the crankshaft. tap each hole with a tap of the correct size.
Tip: If you don't have a suitable tap, take one of the "old" flywheel mounting bolts, cut two slots along the bolt's threaded shank, and clean the threads of locking compound as you screw the bolt in and out.
6. If the threads of the new flywheel mounting bolts do not have thread locking compound applied, apply thread locking compound to the threads of each bolt.
7. Make sure the mounting pin is in place. Install the flywheel onto the crankshaft, using the dowel pin as a guide, and screw in new bolts.
8. Lock the flywheel using the method used during removal. Then, working in a crisscross pattern, tighten the bolts evenly and gradually to the specified torque.
9. Install the clutch assembly (see chapter 6). Remove the locking tool and install the gearbox as described in chapter 7.
