Seized engine dissasembly

[vt78cruiser]

How do you go about taking off the clutch and flywheel on an engine that won't rotate? I need the bellhousing and clutch off the seized engine.

Do I need to go as far as taking the oil pan off and taking the pistons off the crank?

Why do you need to rotate the engine for this? Seems like it'd be easier to do on a seized engine since you won't have to brace the flywheel? Am I missing something?

What is the problem? I assume the engine is pulled out, yes?

Drop the pan, remove the rod bearings starting at the front while looking for seized bearings. Then pull the main bearing caps and check for seizures.

With the main bearing caps loose and the rod bearing loose you should have identified the seizure and can now rotate the engine in order to remove the clutch and flywheel.

To access the fasteners that secure the pressure plate to the flywheel.....

Copy. Thanks.

Are the heads are on the engine side of the flywheel or something?

You cannot get to the "Top" bolts of the pressure plate with the bellhousing on. You have to remove the pressure plate to access the flywheel bolts. Once the flyhweel is removed, you can remove the bellhousing bolts.

Thank you everyone who cleared up my problem, Poser, D'Animal. Looks like I'll be taking the pan off and working on the bearings as per suggestion. Why did Toyota have to put two bolts behind the damn flywheel that are completely inaccesible? Are all bellhousings set up this way?

There are four on the inside....


No, not all flywheel housings are set up this way...however, the F/2F are that way.
