It Sandwiches the clutch friction plate to the flywheel. The flywheel is connected to the engine, the friction plate is connected to the gearbox. Strong springs inside the cover plate hold the friction plate firmly to the flywheel. When the clutch lever is operated, springs in the cover plate are compressed, thus releasing the pressure on the friction plate, disengaging the gearbox from the engine.
Flywheel
It's not connected to the cover. The pressure plate is bolted to the flywheel with the clutch disc sandwiched in between.
Flywheel
I assume you mean the clutch pressure plate. If that is what you mean there may not be a cover. On older cars and trucks there is a flywheel cover on the bottom of the bell housing. At any rate to replace the clutch pressure plate you will have to remove the transmission. Then the bell housing to gain access to the clutch plate mounting bolts.

The raised centre faces the clutch cover mate. Flatter surface to the flywheel. The plate is usually marked "front" though.

take the stator cover off first under the flywheel there is a line on the plate the flywheel is on and a line on the engine housing make sure they line up if not loosen the three screws holding the plate down and move (kjax 14yrs exp small engine and bike mech)
To replace the flywheel on a garbage disposal, first disconnect the power supply to ensure safety. Remove the disposal unit from the mounting assembly, then take off the cover plate to access the flywheel. Carefully detach the old flywheel, clean the area, and install the new flywheel, ensuring it is properly aligned. Reassemble the disposal, reconnect it to the mounting, and restore power to test the operation.
The flywheel is bolted to the end of the crankshaft opposite the timing gear. It is basically what attaches the transmission to the crankshaft. It has teeth on the outer edge that are used by the starter to roll the engine over. It has a pressure plate bolted to it if a manual transmission, or a flex plate if an automatic transmission. The engine must be separated from the transmission to remove the flywheel, however there is an access cover at the bottom in order to inspect the teeth and/or remove the bolts that attach the flywheel to the flex/press. plate. If you are standing at the front of the car (hood open), the transmission is to your left. The engine is to your right. In the middle (approx. below the distributor cap) is th engine/transmission connecting point. The flywheel is inside this area and can not be seen from top. Under car if you remove access cover you can see the ring gear teeth around the circumference of the flywheel, and access the bolts.
