January 16, 200521 yr 85 GL 4x4 wagon 1.8L carb. Rusty. I've got the engine hoisted up on a floor jack and I'm having trouble getting the flywheel bolts off. Do I really need to have it resurfaced? I'd just as well leave it on there.....but should I? :-\
January 16, 200521 yr For a clutch job to be done right, the flywheel should be inspected and surfaced. that pilot bearing in there should be replaced as well. at the very least, I would get a rotary scuff pad or sanding disk, put it in a die grinder or drill, and put a non directional surface all around the mating surface. That you can at least do without taking it out of the car. as for the real world, yes you can probably leave it the way it is, but if its glazed it will probably take a lot longer to break in the clutch, causing it to slip/burn & stuff... -Mike
January 16, 200521 yr yeah i like to use a sanding disc on a drill. if i dont have one i would use sandpaper by hand, just stroke in odd directions so the scratches arent all one direction. really you just need to get the shininess off the surface my recommendations for a daily driver type usage
