Changing a flywheel on a 172

[Matt Jackson]

Hi I need to swap the flywheel on my 172 as I'm doing an engine swap & when I try bolt the clutch on the fresh engine the bolts won't tighten up on the existing flywheel, I want to fit the flywheel off my old engine but wanted to know if it requires fitting in a certain position or will only fit in a certain position etc before I go pulling it off.

Thanks Matt

none of the bolts will tighten up?

Yes it will only go back in one position.

Only one that's pulled the threads

Argh that's great, that's what I needed to know, thank you.

re tap it m8, you shouldn't need to re drill it either. be cheaper than buying new flywheel bolts as well.
