Because a special engine support beam, a telescoping transaxle stand, a hydraulic hoist, and an engine hoist are needed to remove the transaxle, gaining access to the flywheel using the procedure may be impossible for most home mechanics. An alternative involves the removal of the engine, transaxle, and cradle as an assembly, which does not require the special engine support beam or the telescoping transaxle stand, although the hydraulic hoist and engine hoist must still be available. Once the engine/transaxle/cradle assembly is removed from the vehicle, the transaxle can be disconnected from the engine to gain access to the flywheel. Begin by removing the transaxle assembly from the engine, followed by the pressure plate and clutch disc, and then remove the flywheel mounting bolts to detach the flywheel assembly. For installation, first install the flywheel and bolts, tightening them to the specified torque in a criss-cross pattern, then install the pressure plate and clutch disc, and finally attach the transaxle assembly to the engine.
