Title: Fl wheel counter balance??
Post by: Jono FD3 on November 23, 2007, 08:51:27 PM
Right, as some of you know, Bally has had a few dramas with his clutch set up.... basicaly I\'m asking this question to see if the counter weight behind the flywheel needs to stay or be removed to run a std flywheel??

He has got an exedy hyper single with a smaller light flywheel (this is being removed so he can run a std flywheel, as his new clutch kit is for a std flywheel not the exedy lightend one!!), behind this there is a counter balance weight, but the mechanic doing the job thinks this is to be taken off for use with a std flywheel.... is he correct ???

HEEEELLLLLP!!!!!


Cheers guys

yes,  the stock flywheel has the counter weight built in.
the counterweight should be bolted to the lightweight f/w,  thats whats actually attached to the e shaft.

he must have unbolted the flywheel from the counter weight. The counter weight is held on the eshaft by the 54mm nut and can be apig to get off.
