Replacing Flywheel

LOL :D...

Anyway, my trans mount, exh. gaskets, t-case gasket, and shift rail plugs will be here tomorrow morning. The clutch master cyl. came in Wed. or Thurs. I put on the flywheel and clutch and knew I was missing something....pilot bearing :rolleyes: Totally forgot to put it in the flywheel. Instead of buying a slide hammer, etc to get the old one out, I went to Napa and got a brand new one for 15 bucks (the other one appeared to be in perfect condition tho). I installed that today, painted the rest of my exhaust, and now it's raining again, so I had to quit working on it for now. Hopefully it'll stop soon and I can install the clutch & transmission, so I can finish everything up when the rest of my parts get here tomorrow.

Oh and for anyone wondering, I found the torque specs for the flywheel. Torque all bolts to ~125 INCH/lbs, then torque them all to ~55 ft/lbs. (I say ~ b/c there was a range for each of them, and I just remember both of these were about in the middle of those ranges)
 






do you do them all in a cross pattern or a circular patern? im guessing cross pattern...
 






Cross pattern to get them all to spec then in a circular pattern to double check them all (like tightening a wheel)
