transmission removed as described in
Chapter 7, remove the clutch assembly
(manual transmission) as described in Chap-
ter 6.
2 Undo the eight flywheel/driveplate retaining
bolts. To prevent the flywheel turning, lock the
ring gear teeth using a small strip of angle iron
engaged in the teeth and against, or screwed
into, a transmission-to-engine retaining bolt
inserted into a vacant bolt hole.
3 Lift off the washer plate (automatic
transmission), then withdraw the flywheel/
driveplate from the crankshaft.
Inspection
4 Inspect the starter ring gear on the flywheel
or driveplate for wear or broken teeth. If
evident, the ring gear should be renewed. This
is a specialist operation and should be
entrusted to a Rover dealer.
5 The clutch friction surface on the flywheel
should be checked for grooving or cracks, the
latter being caused by overheating. If these
conditions are evident, renewal of the flywheel
is necessary.
Refitting
6 Refitting is a reversal of removal, tightening
the bolts to the specified torque in a diagonal
and progressive sequence.
