  Q: How do you remove and install the flywheel or driveplate on 2011 and earlier Hyundai Excel?

  A: To remove the flywheel on manual transaxle models, first, detach the transaxle and then take out the clutch assembly. Make alignment marks between the flywheel and crankshaft using paint or a marker pen. Use a flywheel holding tool or wedge a large screwdriver in the flywheel ring gear teeth to keep it stationary, then loosen and remove the flywheel retaining bolts before taking out the flywheel, being cautious not to drop it due to its weight. For automatic transaxle models, remove the transaxle and make alignment marks between the driveplate and crankshaft. Loosen and remove the retaining bolts to take out the driveplate, along with any spacers on each side. For inspection, check the flywheel on manual transaxle models for scoring on the clutch face and wear or chipping of the ring gear teeth; if damaged, surface grinding may be possible, but replacement is preferable. On automatic transaxle models, inspect the torque converter driveplate for distortion and any cracks around the bolt holes; any signs of wear or damage necessitate replacement. For installation, clean the mating surfaces of the flywheel or driveplate, spacers, and crankshaft, and reinstall the locating dowel if it was removed. Apply thread-locking compound to the retaining bolt threads, align the previously made marks, and install the flywheel or driveplate, ensuring the bolts are unequally spaced and only align in one position. Hold the flywheel or driveplate stationary while tightening the retaining bolts to the specified torque, then install the clutch for manual transaxle models and finally reinstall the transaxle.
