How to remove and reinstall the transmission and flywheel for 1.6 litre diesel engine on Volvo S40?

In order to eliminate the transmission, clean the cloth assembly out at first. Create alignment marks on the flywheel and crankshaft to allow reinstallation easier. Do not allow the flywheel to rotate; or you may use a locking tool (part number 999 7120) or a large screwdriver in the ring gear teeth. Relax and remove the flywheel retaining bolts, and remove the flywheel gently of the crankshaft, without dropping it because of its weight. In case the flywheel locating dowel is loose remove and keep it with the flywheel. The existing flywheel bolts are to be discarded and these new bolts installed during the reprocedure. Tremayne: check both sides of the flywheel, whether it has been scored on the face of the clutch, and the teeth of the ring gear, whether they are worn or chipped. In case the face of the clutch is damaged it can be ground to or it is better replaced. Ask a dealer in Volvo, or in engine reconditioning, whether it is possible to do such machining. In case the ring gear is damaged or wears off, the whole flywheel has to be changed. Wipe off the mating surfaces of the flywheel and crankshaft, and clear out the crankshaft holes with the proper tap where there is one. Unless new flywheel retaining bolts are supplied with pre-myelinated threads, a thread-locking compound should be used on each bolt. Make certain that the locating dowel fits in position and the flywheel is placed on the dowel and replace the new retaining bolts. In an event whereby no dowel has been used, the already drawn marks are to be aligned to ensure that they are at the right place. Ensure that the flywheel is completely in touch with the crankshaft flange and then screw the bolts until they reach the recommended torque. Lastly, re attach the transmission and refit the flywheel locking tool, should have been used, and the clutch.

How to remove and refit the transmission and flywheel components for 2.0 litre 4-cylinder diesel engine on Volvo V50?

To have the transmission removed, check for things like the oil seals and replace them if they need to be replaced. Next remove the clutch and check or renew the clutch parts and release bearing. Use a centre-punch or paint to make alignment marks on flywheel and crankshaft for correct alignment during refitting. Prevent the flywheel from turning by locking the teeth of the ring gear or bolting a strap between the flywheel and the cylinder block or the crankcase, then slacken the Torx bolts evenly until they are all free. Make sure to remove each bolt in turn, getting new bolts to reassemble the structure because bolts are exposed to severe stresses and therefore should be renewed each time the structure is disturbed. Withdraw the heavy flywheel carefully so as not to drop it. Clean flywheel, removing grease and oil, inspecting the surface for cracks, rivet grooves, burned areas and score marks, light scoring can be removed using emery cloth. Check for cracked and broken ring gear teeth, lay the flywheel on a flat surface to check for warpage with a straight-edge. Clean and examine the mating surfaces of the flywheel and crankshaft, replacing the crankshaft seal if leaking, particularly if the engine has been put to high miles. Thoroughly clean the threaded bolt holes in the crankshaft, getting rid of any traces of locking compound. Fit the flywheel to the crankshaft, making sure that the dowel is in line with the hole, and insert the new bolts. Lock the flywheel by the method used in dismantling, and working in a diagonal sequence, tighten up the bolts according to the specified torque setting on a torque wrench before refitting the clutch and transmission.
