While I have the engine out, I replaced the ring gear as you can see in the test fit, bought new clutch kit, starter etc..., BUT it looks like I should get the flywheel machined as long as I have it all disassembled and replace the crank bolts and nuts and flywheel bolts. Anyone know an "easy" way to replace the crank bolts?

I guess it is hard for me to say you took the easy way out. But I did remove mine and reinstall with engine in place. Removing it did give me an advantage when I immediately reinstalled it in the same session.

Flywheel: at least hit it with a reciprocating sander to make sure it is smooth. I don't thing the dings and dents will matter as long as it is smooth and wont tear up the clutch surface.
But wouldn't hurt to machine it as long as you don't loose too much mass. Also could be warped from all of the prior abuse. Edited by ralf - 01 Aug. 2016 at 3:34pm |

Flywheel to Crank bolts...
You can do this without being too invasive, but you may mess up the rear main seal. You need to remove the oil pan and the rear main bearing cap. Spin the crank and replace the bolts, one at a time. Hawk

I tried attacking it in that manner believe me.
 But, when the PO had the engine rebuilt or just repainted, he neglected to include the bracket, the paint it plugged everything up and I was just not able to git er done with out yanking it.

Always have the flywheel surfaced when replacing the clutch and pressure plate. You're asking for trouble if you don't. You're paying for a clutch kit to make it like new, why leave the job half-done? BW

This was not one of Willys better ideas...
 Mounting the bracket on the firewall to the side of the engine would have proved waaaaaaay easier to work on. But...that is the way it was designed and it is just one of the things that we, as Jeep owners and mechanics accept as the normal way the little trucks from Toledo operate and are maintained. My brother, while helping me work on Ol' Red one day, pointed out the lack of space between the firewall and the back of the block and suggested that I fabricate something mounted to the firewall at the side of the engine. I accused him of heresy... he wouldn't do that to his 56 Chevy 2-door hardtop restoration...!

I found a local shop that will take care of the flywheel for $36. Good deal I think. I'll drop it off this week. I also ordered all new bolts/nuts for the flywheel and crank and a new rear main seal from Walck's for when I screw that up in the process.
A man has got to know his limitations.

Just an update to my on going effort to make things right for Tow Mater. I finally had a few weekends, well partial weekends to devote to replacing a few engine bits and pieces.
The old welded up front plate was replaced with a proper one sourced from Lee (MN). Thanks Lee. A PO had taken a later model plate, cut and reversed one of the mounting brackets in order to make it fit the '46.  |

I replaced the crank bolts, for the newly machined fly wheel with new ring gear.

I cleaned it all up and replaced every seal and gasket imaginable. She's all buttoned up now and waiting for the next available weekend to get her back in the engine bay.

For me, ratcheting wrenches come in handy for these things. I would take ratcheting wrench and put the bolt in the box end and tape the back side of the box so the bolt doesn't come out when you put pressure. Use the wrench to put it back there and to turn it to install

50 / 50 shot at installing the bracket correctly & wouldn't you know it, got it in upside down.... Had the left fender off already, pulled both motor mounts and lowered the engine to the frame. Opened enough gap to pull the bolts and bracket. Just need to reinstall it - good time all around...
