Kay, so I took the entire truck apart and cleaned everything. Looks awesome, but the diffs had a small amount of oil around them. Is this normal? Wouldn't want my diffs to be leaking. D:<

qaiz

You better hope that's normal :P.

INTEGRA

wow 10 pages of u 2 goin at it....haha.... banned...most diffs tend to loose oil over time....if the diff is 100% empty with only a coating on the gears chance are it leaked out....unless its still the stock factory grease...i duno..but either way....I use BN Orings and BN seals whenever i open up a diff...its not worth it to reassemble to only have it leak a couple runns later....so get urself some extra diff seals and orings.

qaiz

Is he ever going to get this thing up and running

If its not his back plate, its his glow plugs.

Theres always something going on with this boy.

BTW how do you get a flywheel off an engine.?

madmax22

lol yea 10 pages just you and banned! lol and qaiz take the clutch bell off then there should be a nut its about the size of a glowplug and your glowplug wrench will work. just unscrew it and pull on the flywheel it should pop off unless its on there like my t-maxx I had to wedge a screw driver in there LMK how it goes ( 1. clutchbell 2. clutch shoes 3. flywheel)

INTEGRA

DOOOO NOT WEDGE a flathead in there...that is soo the wrong way to remove a flywheel....that is however a Great way to puncture the front bearing seal and cause a bad air leak and Junk out the front bearing......there are a couple ways u can go about takin off a flywheel....1 is a Flywheel puller....they are pricy...but do what they do very well......2nd option is to lay the motor flat on its side....with the nut obviously off....Take a 2.5mm or a 3mm driver...my Integy Gold 3mm works great for this.......Lay the wrench on the block to touch the outter portion of the flywheel.......and whack away....Remeber to keep the head of the hex Flush as to not gouge the backside of the flywheel....Pending on how close it rides to the case that could cause issues by itself...but what ever u do...DO NOT use a flathead inbetween the block and flywheel.

qaiz

I gave up like 15 mins ago lol.

Ill try it tomorrow when im in a better mood.

Im ready to burn this engine lol

I just noticed.

Wont I have to change my fly wheel too.?

Ill be getting an .28 XZ, ill need a bump box for that.

And my fly wheels kinda beaten up, lotta rocks have hit it..

Thanks for the tips, will keep them in mind

madmax22

INTEGRA I only did that b/c it was my t-maxx and bought a new clutch system/ ceramic bearings for it so i didnt even think of saving it. thanks for the tip tho!

You shouldn't have to buy a new flywheel unless you're buying new mounts and everything. O_o

Ordered everything yesterday...Now I'm waiting. Lol...I'm gonna take things slow when I'm setting it up this time.

qaiz

Have you tried hitting the back of it with something? That's hat I do to get mine off.

qaiz

I tried a mallet, a hammer, and a flat head.

And ive bruised my thumb and have 5 huge hashes on my left hand lol.

My Feedback: (1)

Oh, wow...Did you loctite the nut on there? Lmao.

I know my collet has loctite in it from where I put some on the nut.

JB COMP

I use a bearing puller (I have also heard them called a gear puller too) to get the flywheel off, works great. the auto parts should have them.

qaiz

Ill try a blow torch tomorrow.

Lol I have no idea why its so tight.

Partly the reason could be is because once my dog bone seized up and the nut rotated till the engine died on the thread.

Ill just get a new fly wheel. Im missing a few teeth on mine.

Why is a fly wheel so important.?

It dosent really do anything does it.?

My Feedback: (1)

It holds the clutch shoes. :P

INTEGRA

do u even know what ur talkin about ?

qaiz

yeah I do.

Just dont understand what it does.

Sorry.

qaiz

Oh lol.

I had no idea.

Always thought that it was there so you could adjust the piston to B.D.C.

Thanks.
