I need to get the pins out to have it resurfaced at the parts store. I have tried but I can't get them to move at all. I got my new centerforce DF in today and went and picked up new piolt & throwout. I have a nice spare flywheel, just need it turned.
Should I get new bolts too? what size/grade?
Those pins are pressed in and held via interference fit. You ain't gettin those out with anything available at Home Depot. Not intact anyway. The shop performing the work should take them out and reinstall them or new ones. Every flywheel (>25years worth) I've ever had turned was dropped off complete with the pins. If they won't remove them.....find another shop.
thanks guys. I just took it to the shop that my work uses. I droped it off at lunch and picked it up on the way home, done and ready to go. It cost a little more but was done right.
A little trick I've learned over the years. Find out the "beverage" of choice of the machinist and drop off 6 of them in a handy carrying case with whatever part requires his attention. This tends to "wipe away" those extra costs. Same thing goes for the hired wrench.
no I took it to a machinist insted of Orelly's to get it done. Orellys want to turn up to the pins and call it good because they could not get them out.
I turn the flywheels where I work. They have a stud puller for just that job. It looks like a slide hammer but it is different on the end. It has a different piece for each size stud, from 1/4" up. You tighten it on to the stud and yank your arm off and pop out the stud. Usually I can reuse the old stud without any issues.
BTW did they grind your flywheel or did they turn it on a lathe??

because they could not get them out.
