the opposite side the flywheel bolts to the motor
In other words, it doesn't matter unless you notice something different from one side to the other. On the ones that came from the factory, the center hole is slightly flared making it easier to install. Can't remember if the aftermarket ones are like that or not.
Torque converter bolts No. Fly-wheel bolts YES.
Usually with bolts.
The side with the raised parts of the flywheel go twards the torqe converter .
nope. you still have the 6 18mm bolts that bolt the flywheel to the crank
You have to pull the stater and grind a space in the adaptor for a socket to clear to the torque convertor bolts.
turn the flywheel with a big screwdriver
I am doing this now on my 1996 automatic. Get your hands on a Haynes repair manual. jack up the engine and support with a jack stand. remove all the mounting bolts. remove the drivers side axle completely. remove the passangers side axle from the wheel hub. remove the starter and remove the bolts from the flywheel to torque converter. use a floor jack and pull the trans from the engine. you will be able to access the fly wheel bolts. I was able to remove the flywheel and had enough room to install a new one and retorque the new bolts.
if the bolts line up but u'll have to replace flywheel or the torque converter, check spacing of bolts
Remove the starter and the dust shield. Remove the four bolts (spaced every 90 degrees around the flywheel) and then the torque converter will be loose.
You have to pull the transmission. then it's just 3 bolts/nuts through flywheel.
NO. You will have to remove the transmission bolts and move the transmission back alittle after you have removed the driveshaft,transmission lines,crossmember bolts,starter,flywheel dust cover,front driveshaft,torque converter bolts. NO OTHER WAY.
That is normal, Just put the converter bolts in it and it will be alright.
