I need help with Clutch Replacement
I hope someone can get back to me tonight on this one...
I have the tranny out and the clutch cover, etc... I have a new flywheel to put in so I will not be reusing the old one. My only question is, how do I get those 3 guide bolts that are stuck around the edge of the flywheel out? I have tried heating them, PB Blaster, pounding on it with a hammer, Ive tried everything. Do I have to bring them to a Machine shop or can I buy these little bolts(although they arent exactly bolts, they are not threaded) at Napa, Kragens, etc?? Does anyone know what Im talking about? Thanks tons guys!!
Just to clarify, Im talking about the 3 bolts that appear to be sticking out of the flywheel about 1/3". They are not threaded at all, they appear to be pressed in a hole in the flywheel. How do I get these out?

Yeah, I cant believe they didnt either... I looked all over for them, but no sign. Im gonna check out a machine shop tomorrow, maybe they can get them off? They must be able to, if people bring their old Flywheels in, what else would they do, chop them off.

Hwat the ring(fly wheel) only and tap it. Should come off. Don't heat the dowels or the main part the flywheel attatches to. set the new flywheel on and heat it as you tap it on. Good luck!!

Thanks, I ended up bringing it to a machine shop this morning. They did it free of charge. woohoo. And we finished the clutch too!!! Jokeplayer came down and helped out for a few hours(Thanks again by the way). Seems to be doing fine, a big difference from the original one.
