Flywheel Insert

[AndrewM6097]

I just purchased a used SPEC flywheel and i would like to replace the friction insert.... Can someone confirm that the fidanza insert will work with the SPEC flywheel??

I am pretty sure that the flywheels are made by the same company, so the Fidanza insert replacement, should fit without a problem...

I have a Fidanza flywheel in the basement as well as the SPEC I sold you... I can look to see if everything is the same when you come pick up the parts...

Just remind me. :)

Fidanaza flywheels = Spec flywheels

So yes the friction plate will work

Do you have to remove the flywheel to replace this insert? If so, are the nuts that hold the flywheel on, one time use?
Thanks

i think i read that the the new insert also comes with new fastners

[96blackse]

Yes you need to remove the flywheel... Just make sure you are using the right screwdriver because its easy to strip while tightening... New hardware is included... I use a small ratchet with a screwdriver bit much easier to torque down the screws

Just put the new plate on down in the basement, very easy. Torqued all the nuts to 5lbs. 5lbs doesnt seem like much but thats what the instructions say so i guess i'm good.

I just replaced mine and i used my air ratchet at my shop with a thin walled 3/8 socket i believe the size is...Also make sure both mating surfaces are clean. Those bolts are only torqued to 45in.lbs/5ft.lbs
