I'm in the middle of a clutch repalcment on my Sp6 and think I need to send my flywheel off for a refurb while everything is apart. Except for the obvious 6 (or is it 7?) bolts holding the flywheel on, is there anythign else I need to be aware of? Do I need to drain the engine oil or is everything still sealed behind the flywheel and removing it won't 'release' the oil as such?

Any tips / tricks to removing the flywheel and what torque should the bolts be re-done up to upon replacement?
Thanks!

No disrespect intended, but the level of questions you're asking make me worry whether you know what you're doing. If this goes wrong then the worst case scenarios involve people literally losing limbs.

Anyone know (and willing to share) the torque value for the flywheel bolts?

As to 'taking limbs off', if the flywheel is able to escape the 7 bolts, take the clutch pack with it, exit through the bell housing and take out the tubular steel chassis, then yes, limbs might be at risk, but I doubt it rolleyes

When I built my 4.2 the figure I got from the build manual was 60lb/ft. Can't think it will be any different for the Sp6.

For the Cerbera there's a wiki for torque settings

The Sagaris manual is available in the member's area of the TVRCC web-site.

I was a member of the TVR Card Club but gave that up many years ago... I do have an original copy of the Sagaris manual (from Graham) but I didn't see it in there - indeed scant info on flywheel removal or clutch removal - eg remove the 4 bolts... that's it (sort of thing)!

Cheers! and dammit, I didn't think to look for a torque setting chapter (or just didn't spot it), just thought it would be under the clutch chapter. There is also the bell housing and gearbox torque values there so that saves me another question / search.

I was looking for it yesterday and thought the same!

Thanks for the file, but I can't open it - could you try re-saving it in a different format or try resending it please? It's the 3mf one I can;t open - my (personal edition) of Fusion won't open it and my slicer (Cura) says it's empty or doesn't contain any models (despite being around 300Kb in size).

It's a Bambu file. I'll resend exported as an STL.
