Hi there can someone put up an order of work to replace a TD4 flywheel. I have done one which took forever. I just wondered if anyone has a set way that might take a bit of time out of the job.

Thanks John. I feared as much. It took forever I was worried that I was doing something wrong. New Freelander project and another flywheel. Happy days. Here's to another 2 days under the ramp. :-/.

i found it easier when fitting a replacement engine, than when i was replacing the clutch with the engine in suite, found it so much easier fitting the gearbox onto the new engine,with the whole lot dropped out, and i don't think it took any longer, just drop the engine /gearbox/ird onto the floor and drag it to the side, then do what you have to do , i guess it depends if you have suitable place to work, but working underneath disconnecting the g/b and ird is a real pain

As John T said. It's much easier if you have access to tools that allow you to drop the whole lot out the bottom. A 2 post lift is a good bit of kit when doing this. Sadly a 2 poster is well out of reach of the average diyer.
