Clutch flywheel — check (Nissan Primera P10)

If the clutch is removed, the flywheel and its ring gear teeth should be checked. Since the ring gear is not replaced separately, the entire flywheel should be replaced. If the friction surface looks good, it should be well treated with sandpaper. Remove small, visible traces of carbon deposits.

Before re-tightening the flywheel, its runout should be checked. This is done with a dial indicator as shown in the illustration.



When the flywheel is rotated slowly, the indicator needle should not move more than 0.2 mm. Otherwise, the flywheel must be replaced, since a deformed friction surface has a negative effect on the clutch operation. When ordering a new flywheel, be sure to specify the engine power, since not all models have the same flywheels. Tighten the flywheel bolts evenly with a force of 83-93 N·m.
