Solid Flywheel Conversion

[paul.h]

In the June 2013 Car Mechanics mag there is an article showing DIY replacement of the clutch and dual mass flywheel with a solid flywheel kit. The car seems to be a 2.0 hdi, 2004 model mark 1 C5. Took the owner 16 hours over 4 days, the kit was £172 from Car Parts For Less but does not give the make (they are up to twice this at Eurocarparts website). Plus £87 for a puller (9780.84) to remove the clutch fork shaft from Citroen since levers did not work, plus gearbox oil and a new crankshaft oil seal.

 

The owner has found accelerating hard at around 1500-2500 rpm there is a noticeable amount of vibration but not if accelerating smoothly and there is no difference setting off and changing down gear.

I've seen this article .I was going to ask Coastline how long it take him and does he use the puller

we can do a conversion in a day. We use a crowbar on the fulcrum arm and pull it of the thrust bearing.and if your doing the job correctly then youl chanege the fulcrum arm and nose cone aswell and weve had no problems with the solid flywheels at all
