1949 Plymouth Transmission Frozen to Bell (Clutch) Housing
D81938 replied to temecularevev's topic in P15-D24 Forum
Teme, I get all my parts from Andy Bernbaum. Expensive but Available! I just did a Clutch, Pressure plate, throw out bearing and cut the flywheel. Now on to another part of the car. 🤑 -
AWESOME This site has helped me SO Much. My 38 D.B. was the first Flat Head I ever owned. Everybody got some kind of knowledge.

Teme: I put a little heat right around the center of the Hub. I did that a couple times and then tightened my puller each time. Then I left it cool and it popped right off. There is no bearing in there to damage. My car sat in a ground floor barn for 50 years.

Thanks 4 the input everybody. I did buy the kit and flame thrower Coil w/ correct ohms required 4 that unit. I don't like cutting corners. U can't save money and do the job correctly! I enjoy driving my old vehicles and working on them. And plan on doing so as long as I can! T.Y.

I have a question on my 217.8 flat head in my 38 D.B. The car sat in a barn for 40+ yrs. Of course the valves were stuck. After I got them all loose n observed the guides I'm kinda scared to remove the guides in the exhaust valves. They r rusted in there pretty bad. Should I let a machine shop remove them before I crack the block ? Or should I heat in there n try to remove them with the threaded rod technique? Pulling them up out of the block. Never worked on a flat head before. The motor has 49,861 original miles.. 3rd owner.. Thanks !!

T.Y. I appreciate all help and responses I was a truck mechanic for 30 yrs, but I was frame down mechanic. Suspensions, drive line, alignments n rears only. I do have general knowledge of engines as my dad had a scrap yard when I was young n we had refurbished vehicles. Thanks again!#?
