How To Resurface a Flywheel


I need to replace the clutch, and I want a “new” clutch surface on my flywheel so the clutch will operate problem free.

The first step is to have the flywheel cleaned of oil , grease and grime.
This flywheel is in decent shape minimal warp and few hot spots

I found my Ford Dark Blue Spray Paint!!

Next is to mount the flywheel to the machine
Move the flywheel under the grinding stone, and touch off….

Each pass is only .002 -.003 deep per cut

See the sparks?

Now that we have a good surface for the clutch disc to mate too…

One last thing to do is to knock in the pressure plate alignment pins

All done…
Handy to see. Is that your machinery?
i used to work at a machine shop. I did the same thing to a friend's flywheel. I used our Blanchard with coolant, just took off enough to make it flat, everything works great.
Thumper.... yes it is... and I have more to play with too1 lol

Cerebral, yes that sound like the newer style of flywheel grinder. Mine is an attachment for an old Van norman rotory broach, made back in 1964
what is the maximum amount you recommend taking off the flywheel?
