You are correct. Most people still call it a flywheel though. I dont find it worth my time to educate them.

While you have the flex plate off. You should replace the rear main seal. It is full circle type. And is easyly accsessible after you remove the flexplate. Also Replace the frt seal in the transmission. Its cheap insurance. You would hate to have to take it back apart in a few thousand miles to repair a leak.

If you drive by my house and see my feet sticking out from under my car please dial 911 cause it ain't what it looks like![:D][:D][:D][:D]
Extreme moments of horror should be met with extreme actions of preventive retribution
Of all the things I've lost, I miss my youth the most!
I did it in my garage with just putting the truck up on 4 stands and using 3 jacks to support the tranny and engine.
I have a 94 Chevy 1500 with a 4.3L V6.
Need a second pair of strong hands when breaking loose the bolts holding the flywheel or flexplate to the torque converter and breaking loose the bolts holding it to the crank.
Unless you have the locking tool which I didn't have [:D]

Have fun and add a couple of hours if your doing on your back. Add a couple of hours if you don't wrench for a living and add a couple of hours for Murphy's law.........I'd say at leat a day would cover it.

this little truck is the wifes it has 135000 miles on it and this is the first real problem
this is not going to be so bad a mechanic friend(yea i have a few) said he would help me fix the little thing if it could wait a few days (trust me it can wait)[:D][:D]

You need to take the 4-6 body bolts off and jack the body up to get at the top bolts easily.
EASY job since it's a 2wd.
I never used a impact on the flywheel bolts, the book said something like 55 foot pounds to torque them back down, two snapped off at 50 foot pounds.
I had to get a few new bolts for the flywheel from the closest parts store.
My Chevy has almost 321,000 miles on it [:D]
Still the original motor and transmission. Only changed the flexplate
because the starter chewed the teeth up.
