Dowels, Flywheel Housing to Block

Removal and Installation

1. NOTE: Take care not to damage the flywheel housing-to-block dowel holes or the surface areas around the flywheel housing-to-block dowel hole during removal.

Remove the flywheel housing-to-block dowels using a drift pin where the flywheel housing-to-block dowel is installed in an open hole and a pair of locking pliers where the flywheel housing-to-block dowel is installed in a blind hole.

2. NOTE: Care should be taken to drive the flywheel housing-to-block dowel squarely into place until it is fully seated without damaging the surrounding surface areas.

Install all flywheel housing-to-block dowels by driving them into place using a brass or plastic mallet.
