I am converting 2000 2.7 to fit a 2003 vehicle I have already swapped out the flex plate and I was told to change the cam tone ring on the left camshaft, So I removed the cam tone ring from the 2003 engine without removing the cam sprocket and holding the camshaft with a breaker bar. During the process the left camshaft rotated slightly while staying on the shaft and I can still see the bolt holes. Seems like, I could remove the bolts that hold the cam ring in place without removing the cam sprocket while watching which way the camshaft rotates and then remove the old cam ring, install the correct one and then rotate the camshaft slightly to align with the bolt holes?

Yes those are bolts. You remove those from the back side. This takes a while sometimes. If you can't get them by reverse alone, try hitting them with impact in forward for a hit or two to brake it loose a little. If the new hub comes with new bolts, don't be afarid to brake them. PS, after those bolts are removed, don't forget to remove the nut on the axle shaft. You may also need to use an air hammer to help remove old hub after bolts are removed.

SOURCE: dodge ram 99 4wd cv bolt cant remove

A lot of heat (glowing if possible), and heavy air impact. I've never been able to break one without air impact, and sometimes have had to use a lot of heat as well.

SOURCE: How Do i remove Rear wheel bearing 2005 dodge caravan

raise van take off wheel you must use jackstands or support your van securly its going to rock alot Take off the four bolts located on the back side of the bearing then take out the small bolt from the speed sensor also located in behind the bearing remove the speed sensor. you will need a large mechanics hammer or heavy blunt object. beat the bearing from the back side dont worry about the cog attached you new bearing has one. dont listen to your hanyes or chiltons manuals thanks.

SOURCE: i have removed the pressure

theres an access cover under the turbo on the front of the bellhousing (2 10mm bolts) that you have to remove to access the bolts that hold the flywheel to the flexplate. kinda like removing the bolts to a torque converter. flywheel is real hevy though, watch your fingers

SOURCE: Cannot separate flex plate on a 2001 Dodge Stratus, 3.0 engine.

I think the socket is a dealer item only. I'm on a tool forum and none of the drivers have one. http://www.uktools.com/ sell a Koken 16mm and 14mm 10 point socket. SPC-69330 has a 16mm. I mailed a 10 point with a 13mm head to a tool company to ask if they will make a socket. You can try a damaged nut socket my Blue Point would go all the way on but may cut off the ends. Then you would go down to the next size. An air hammer if applied to the side will loosen the bolt.

Was told that the trans or engine would need to come out to replace the flywheel in my 98 continental.? Is that correct? Saw another suggestion from Colin Strickland here on fixya. See added details.

flywheel teeth get damaged in 3 places for 6 cyl or 4 for v8 If the teeth are damaged then the fix is a replacement ring gear
now if the car is automatic it will not have a flywheel as the torque convertor does that job
there is a flex plate bolted instead to the crank shaft and inturn bolted to the torque converter
They are kown to develope faults and crack off at the crank shaft so that they become warped ( not allowing full pinion engagement) or dreak off altogether and not turn the crank at all
The thrust bearings on the crank generally do not fail as they run in oil all the time so disregard that suggestion( if the thrust bearing was to fall ot completely , the added movement is 1/8 " and the pinion would still engage a good ring gear)
Now the teeth have to be replaced so for an automatic it is a new flex plate ( box out )
for a manual it is flywheel off and a new ring gear fitted to the flywheel ( box out )
check the pitch of the teeth of the new starter
the movement of the pinion can be checked by an accredited auto electrician and adjusted by the encentric pivot pin in the solenoid fork
So what ever happens the box has to come out for the repair

Working on a 2009 Hyundai Sonata 2.4L with automatic trans. the starter ring gear is bad and I am wanting to find out if it is replaceable. Is it welded or bolted to the torque converter?

Neither it uses a flex plate and the ring gear is welded to said flex plate, any parts store can get you one or go to a salvage yard and get one.

I bought a new 22re crate motor because the other one was blown, hole in side of block.went to marry engine to transmission and I know for sure that the torque converter is seated all the way.so my...

never knew that a torque bolted to a flywheel, it is always bolted to a flex plate that drives the torque converter and carries the ring gear for the starter
there are washers that fit either of that flex plate or on some engines only on the converter side with the bevelled edge facing away from the plate
the torque converter is bolted to the flex plate by 3 or 4 bolts facing back to the converter from the block end
why are flywheels not used with torque converters
the mass of the flywheel affects the engine acceleration and the torque converter full of oil takes over that job so the engine acceleration would be considerable slower if both were used

I want to change a 3.7 motor off of 2004 jeep Liberty 2wd in order to fit my 2002 jeep liberty 4wd?

engine swaps are complex as is mixing engines to wrong transmissions.
so both are 3.7L, is that it?
you never said what exacty didnt fit.
the flex plate to TC
or TC to A/T pump side mismatch.
????????
if its the flex then get the correct flex plate.
or call jeep parts? ask them for the right parts
the side of the trans has the trans part number
my guess is all you need is the correct flex plate for engine to TC.

Knocking noise after replacing automatic transmission in 98 ford escort zx2 4cylinder

Three most likely causes are: #1 You forgot to tighten up all the torque converter to flex plate nuts/bolts. #2 You cracked the flex plate during the transmission change. #3 You forgot to swap one or both of the alignment dowels from the old transmission to the new one during the change. These are hollow dowel pins. They go between the bell housing of the transmission and the engine block. Failure to have both dowels in place will lead to the flex plate cracking [see #2]

1990 7.3 idi auto non turbo fly wheel removal a replacement

An automatic doesn't have a flywheel, it has a flex plate instead. The torque converter makes it act a lot like a flywheel, though.

But... you're probably talking about the flex plate or the ring gear around its edge. This is going to require removing the engine from the vehicle - there's no other possible way to get the flex plate out.

Once the engine is sitting on the shop floor, it's a simple job to replace the flex plate - first you unbolt the torque converter and set it aside, then you unbolt the flex plate from the crankshaft. Bolt the new flex plate onto the crankshaft, bolt the torque converter to the new flex plate, and put the engine back into the vehicle.

Clicking noise when turning right?

Most likely, the clicking noise is a c/v joint. Probably the left c/v joint.

Not starting

the ring gear on the fly wheel may have damaged teeth or not have the right gear teeth count to be compatible . Pinion teeth have to match the ring gear teeth or they have trouble meshing and that makes it hard to turn over. If the ring gear teeth have been damaged then the gear box will have to come out to get the fly wheel / flex plate off. If it is auto then it is a simple matter of replacing the flex plate . But if manual the ring gear is removed from the flywheel and a new one fitted. Most accredited service shops can do this operation. count the number of teeth on the ring gear and the number on the starter pinion and take the figures to an auto electrician and he will know it they are right.

Mine is doing this what is it? have a 2002 dodge caravan with a flex fuel 3.3l. When it is first started it floods out so badly that it almost will not run. you have to hold the rpms at about 3000 just...

This is the first report of a vehicle that has an ethanol tank and a fuel tank and the mix is done by the ECM
The problem with ethanol is that it is hygroscopic ( absorbs moisture from the air) and that creates problems with water in the fuel and equipment
any mixture adjustments will be done by the ECM after it receives the exhaust gas content from the heated oxygen sensors in the exhaust manifold before the cat converter ( different operation to an oxygen sensor(O2S)
flooding has nothing to do with the flex plate as that is just a flywheel to carry the ring gear and to drive the torque converter.
the need to hold the rpms so high is an indicator of an air/fuel mix and that is the area to concentrate your efforts
