3.8 Flywheel
3.8.1 Changing starter ring gear on flywheel
If the ring gear is worn, replace it with a new one.
The ring gear cannot be turned around because its
teeth are chamfered and hardened on the starter
motor side.
Fig. 61
Procedure
1.
Remove the old starter ring by tapping it at various points with a drift. Clean the flywheel contact face
with a steel-wire brush.
2.
Warm the ring gear to a temperature of 150 - 200°C. Fit the ring gear with the inner diameter
chamfering turned against the flywheel and the teeth chamfering against the starter motor.
3.
Allow the ring gear to cool freely without using any coolant.
3.8.2 Fitting flywheel
Procedure
1.
Clean the contact surfaces on the crankshaft
