1. Raise the temperature of ring gear (2). Position the ring gear with the part number toward the crankshaft. Install the ring gear on the flywheel. Allow the ring gear to cool. Use a soft hammer in order to seat the ring gear against the shoulder of the flywheel.

2. Install Tooling (A) on the flywheel. Fasten a suitable lifting device to flywheel (3).

   Note: If your engine is equipped with a Rear Power Take-Off RPTO, remove Tooling (B) from the end of the crankshaft and the crankshaft gear.

3. Place the flywheel in the original position on the crankshaft. Align the arrows on the flywheel and the crankshaft. Slide the flywheel over the guide studs.

5. Install six of the eight bolts (1) and the washers. Remove Tooling (C) from the end of the crankshaft and replace with the remaining bolts. Tighten the bolts evenly to a torque of 300 ± 40 N·m (221 ± 30 lb ft).

6. Check the flywheel runout. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Flywheel - Inspect" for the correct procedure.
