How to remove pins from a flywheel?
Went to resurface my flywheel today and can't remove the 3 pins that line up the pressure plate... thought I'd ask before I messed something up.
Any info will help...

Whenever I take a flywheel to get resurfaced, I just leave them in there. They usually take them out and put them back in (if they can, only happened that they couldn't 1 time) for me.

my machine shop charges 7$ to remove and install after resurfacing. there is a slide hammer adapter that is used to remove the pins, if you arent turning flywheels constantly, it isnt worth buying.

If you have a press you can remove them</TD></TR></TABLE>
I'm doing mine myslef here at school... it fits on the brake lathe perfectly so I figured I'd give it a try.

brake lathe..
MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT PUT A DIRECTIONAL FINISH ON IT.
or it will chatter its *** off. thats why they are turned on a table with a stone, but thats my o.o2 if you have the slide hammer adapter that screws inside a pair of vicegrips, that may work, but there is such a thing as a pin puller. please take care in turning the flywheel if you must use a brake lathe.

You better make sure you get it balanced afterwards, unless you really don't care about the engine your putting it on.

Re: (boostedcivicsir)
I've done it before and havn't had a problem... but this time I can't seem to get the pins loose. Those things are in there soooo tight I though maybe I just got lucky all the other times.
