ex lancer wat! Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I'm needing the ring gear on my fly wheel changed. I'm in chch where and who would be the place to go to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
77magnum13hundy Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 me and my mate did this with a map gun when we changed over the ring gears from the 4g11 flywheel to the l200 one... get some wooden blocks 2 decent sized hammers and a flat edged chisel, oh yeh and some welding gloves... youtube it up too, run the torch around the ring consistently for a couple of mins maybe 3-4 flip it over then get the chisel to work it off, one hits with the hammer and chisel the other spins the flywheel around in increments. It'll soon be off. If it dont budge then you'v not heated it enough or havent been smacking it hard enough. To put the ring back on keep the flywheel cold (as in do not heat) and run the torch around the ring as you did previously and as even as possible tap it back on, start without the chisel, but youll have to finish with it, dont fanny about either cos its slowly cooling down and the window will be closing. get the ring on there nice and flush. the wooden blocks are used to elevate the flywheel off the ground and so that the dowels dont scuff your garage floor or burr when you try to fit your clutch plate back on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryanfels Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 When i put the ring gear on my flywheel, i just put the ring gear i the oven for 20min then pulled it out (wearing welding gloves) and slipped it over no problems. As it cools, it shrinks on 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My name is Russell Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Sorry for off topic, whats the deal with ring gear sizes? do they have standardised sizes? Same for teeth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
77magnum13hundy Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 in this case of mitsi ones they do, but id say not all are like that, and ryanfels thats probs the best way to do that, if your allowed in the kitchen with car stuff. basically heat the thing till it expands thoery.
