2. Check and replace the gearbox oil seal if necessary (automatic transmission sealing ring).
3. Remove the clutch (with manual transmission).
4. Mark the position of the flywheel relative to the crankshaft.
5. Loosen the flywheel bolts (torque converter drive disk). Prevent the flywheel from turning by placing a screwdriver against the toothed ring.
6. Carefully remove the flywheel (torque converter drive disk).
Installation
1. Clean the flywheel, check the surface for deep wear marks, rivet grooves, burn marks and scratches. Minor damage can be removed by sanding. Check the flywheel plane for deformation.

2. Clean and inspect the condition of the flywheel/crankshaft joint plane. If the rear crankshaft seal is found to be leaking, replace it before installing the flywheel (torque converter drive disk), replace the seal.
3. Install the flywheel (torque converter drive disk) on the crankshaft. Align the marks made during removal. Before tightening the bolts, lubricate the threads with a locking compound. On some vehicles, the flywheel is installed using pins.
4. Secure the flywheel with a screwdriver by the toothed ring and tighten the mounting bolts to the specified torque. Tighten diametrically opposite bolts.
5. Then assembly is carried out in reverse order.
