Dan Heston Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 My son and I decided to rebuild the tired 230 in our Coronet and we pulled it without any problems. We still have the motor on the hoist because we can't get the bell housing off to put the engine on the stand. We have a 1-7/8 nut in the middle of the clutch that would ultimately allow our access to the flywheel. Can't keep the clutch plate from spinning to remove it. Any help and advice is welcomed. This pic is taken from the back of the bell housing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P15-D24 Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 Take the clutch off the flywheel, like 7 bolts around the outside edge. Then you can access the 4 or 8 bolts bolts that hold the flywheel to the crank. Their are two 1/2 alignment dowels that will hold the bell housing on after you remove the bolts attaching the bell housing to the block. You need to drive them out with a drift punch. Be careful, every component (clutch, flywheel and bell housing) are heavy to very heavy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cod get an open end wrench in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Heston Posted October 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 Are the nuts that hold the clutch to the flywheel accessed from the front side of the flywheel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg g Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 I believe some are set up to accessed between the flywheel and block by rotating the flywheel to access them one at a time. You might need to grind down a box end wrench to wiggle it in. A couple folks have mentioned that here a search may turn up the threads.

Dan Heston Posted October 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 Very good. So it sounds like the entire cluth and fluid drive mechanism comes out together? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
