REPLACEMENT - Continued 2. Install ring gear (Figure 3, Item 8) on flywheel (Figure 3, Item 9) as follows: a. Place flywheel (Figure 3, Item 9), crankshaft side up, on a solid flat surface. WARNING Hot metal components dissipate heat quickly. Wear heat-resistant gloves when handling heated parts. If you receive burns, immerse burn in cold water and seek medical aid. Failure to comply may result in injury to personnel. CAUTION If a torch is used to heat ring gear, keep torch moving around circumference of gear to avoid hot spots. Do not heat over 400°F (204°C) under any circumstances. Excessive heat may destroy original heat treatment. Apply heat-indicating compound to work surface, which melts at a predetermined temperature, to determine heat range. b. Place ring gear (Figure 3, Item 8) on a metal surface and heat uniformly. Heat source can be a blow torch, acetylene torch, or oven. c. After ring gear is heated, place it in position on flywheel (Figure 3, Item 9). NOTE If ring gear cannot be tapped into place readily, repeat Steps 1–2.c. above. d. Tap ring gear (Figure 3, Item 8) into place against shoulder of flywheel (Figure 3, Item 9) using a brass drift and hammer. Work around circumference of flywheel to avoid binding. 8 9 MAINT_188 Figure 3. Flywheel Replacement. END OF TASK TM 9-2815-205-24 0070 0070-6
