MAINTENANCE ROAD WHEELS
Remove
1.Loosen wheel nuts. Raise vehicle for wheel free
condition and remove the wheel nuts.
2.Mark the wheel to stud relationship to ensure
that the wheels are refitted in the same
orientation.
Refit
3.Apply a thin coat of anti-seize compound to
wheel hub centre.
4.Refit wheels to original hub position.
NOTE: When refitting road wheel nuts do
not overtighten using powered tools.
Ensure the wheel nuts are correctly
torqued in the correct sequence.
5.Tighten wheel nuts.

DEPTH
1.Check for any apparent damage to tyres, paying
particular attention to side walls.
2.Look at tyre treads and check for any unusual
wear patterns which may indicate out of
specification adjustment of steering or
suspension.
NOTE: Any adjustments to steering or
suspension will be subject to additional
labour and/or material cost and should not
be carried out without the authorisation of the
customer.
3.Measure the tread depth across the width of the
tyre and around the circumference. Annotate the
maintenance check sheet with the lowest figure
obtained from each tyre.
NOTE: Any requirement to replace tyres
should be advised to the customer before
any remedial work is carried out. This will
be subject to additional labour and/or material
cost and should not be carried out without the
authorisation of the customer.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION The dual mass flywheel is bolted on the rear of the crankshaft with eight bolts. A dowel on the crankshaft flange
ensures that the flywheel is correctly located. A ring gear is fitted on the outer diameter of the flywheel. The ring
gear is not serviceable. Thirty blind holes are drilled in the outer diameter of the flywheel adjacent to the ring gear.
The holes are positioned at 10°intervals with four 20°spaces. The holes are used by the crankshaft position
sensor for engine management.
The dual mass flywheel is used to insulate the gearbox from torsional and transient vibrations produced by the
engine. The flywheel comprises primary and secondary flywheels with the drive between the two transferred by a
torsional damper which comprises four coil springs. The springs are located in the inside diameter of the primary
flywheel. Two of the springs are of smaller diameter and fit inside the larger diameter springs.
The primary flywheel locates the ring gear and is attached to the crankshaft flange with eight bolts. The two pairs
of coil springs are located in a recess in the flywheel between two riveted retainers. A roller bearing is pressed
onto the central boss of the primary flywheel and retained with a riveted plate. The bearing provides the mounting
for the secondary flywheel.
The secondary flywheel comprises two parts; an outer flywheel which provides the friction surface for the clutch
drive plate and an inner drive plate which transfers the drive from the primary flywheel, via the coil springs, to the
outer flywheel. The two components of the secondary flywheel are secured to each other with rivets. The inner
drive plate is located between the two pairs of coil springs and can rotate on the ball bearing in either direction
against the combined compression force of the four coil springs. Under high torque loading conditions the
secondary flywheel can rotate in either direction up to 70°in relation to the primary flywheel.
The operating face of the secondary flywheel is machined to provide a smooth surface for the drive plate to
engage on. Three dowels and six studs and nuts provide for the location and attachment of the pressure plate.

INSPECTION
38.Examine all components for obvious wear or
damage.
39.Bearing cones must be a press fit on their
locations, except drive pinion flange and bearing
which is a slide fit.
40.The crown wheel and pinion are supplied as a
matched pair and must not be interchanged
separately. A new crown wheel and pinion
matched pair may be fitted to an original gear
carrier casing if sound. original crown wheel and
pinion, if sound, may be fitted into a replacement
casing.
41.The two parts of differential unit casing are
matched and must not be replaced separately.
42.Discard and renew all thrust washers.
43.Differential housings with worn thrust washer
seatings must be replaced as a pair.
44.Examine differential case to crown wheel joint
face for burrs and damage which could lead to
crown wheel run-out when fitted.ASSEMBLE
