I'm about ready to put my flywheel and clutch in but the FSM doesn't give any torque specs for the flywheel bolts. It tells you to remove it to resurface if needed - which I have done., but it mentions nothing on reinstalling. It skips to installing the the clutch cover. I searched on YT but could only find torque specs for the v6's. Does anyone know what they are for the 22RE? TIA

Thanks. The autozone link had it listed there. It's 80 ft-lbs for the 22re, 5spd. The 61 is for the auto trans. Had no idea they'd have that info at the AZ site. Thanks again!

i torqued mine to 80 and used a little blue loctite on them. a little harder to remove later on but i like the extra security of knowing my flywheel isn't going to turn into a 25lb frisbee of death.

Dr.Feelgood

True! I put on a 2" BL too so I read up beforehand and there are plenty of bolts that could/should use loctite so I went and got some blue. Like you Kyle, I want to make sure! I'll tell ya, having that extra 2" under the body gives a lot more room to work under there. It was very tight getting the top tranny bolts out but now there's plenty of room. Sliding the socket with an extension through the shifter opening in the floorboard helped a lot too. Wish I had tried that on the first bolt!

i'm lucky that i was born with long spindly arms, so i can get my hands into places they probably shouldn't be

i can get my top bellhousing bolts out with a u-joint and 2 wobbly extensions, but that's only needed for tightening and breaking them free, i can hand tighten the bolts back there.

I was really insure about that flywheel torque spec, but I just found it in the 1988 FSM... 80 ft-lb. it is on page EM-74 that shows on my PDF file as page 106. Line number 18.

Is there a sequence in which to tighten them or is it a star pattern like for tires and such?

hi yall. info on clutch torque specs has been helpful. ps when i pulled my motor i split the bell housing from the engine rather than pull engine and tranny. top two bolts on the 93 22re are 17mms and they are a son of a gun to get out because of how little clearance there is tween the engine and the fire wall. i found that the long 17 mm wrench with the angled box end works really well if you can fish it onto the bolts. then i doubled up the wrench to make the torque you generate way more. they came out easy after than. stick yer hand in there and work the bolts out a quarter turn at a time. dont do those bolts last btw. picture not of me but same idea. hope this helps somebody.
