Examination
1. Check for damaged or worn teeth on the ring gear.
2. Check for cracks, burrs or discoloration on the flywheel contact surface.
3. Measure the flywheel axial runout over two full revolutions using a dial indicator. Press on the flywheel while turning to eliminate axial movement of the crankshaft.
Note: Runout must be measured on the installed engine.
Standard (new): 0.05mm max.
Operation limit: 0.15 mm.
If the runout is greater than the service limit, replace the flywheel and check the runout.

4. Check the smooth rotation of the gearbox primary shaft bearing by turning it with your finger. The bearing should rotate freely, without jamming. Check the tightness of the bearing fit in the flywheel hole. If the bearing does not turn by hand or has a loose fit, replace it.

Replacement
1. Install the special tool as shown.
2. Remove the flywheel by unscrewing the flywheel mounting bolts crosswise in several steps.

3. Press the bearing out of the flywheel.

4. Press the new bearing into the flywheel using a special tool as shown.

5. Align the hole in the flywheel with the crankshaft pin and install the flywheel. Tighten the flywheel mount bolts by hand.
6. Install the flywheel lock, then tighten the mounting bolts in several steps in the order shown in the figure.
