Default Quick! Anyone know the torque specs for APR's lightweight flywheel?

The stock specs are 44 ft-lbs + 1/4 turn for the flywheel bolts, and 18 ft-lbs for the pressure plate. If I don't get an answer, that's what I'll use.

Default Those are the numbers I used.

Did not have any trouble as far as that went. Are you using APR's complete setup?

Default Just the flywheel. The disk is already toast.....

I've got a Werks of Art setup for the APR flywheel.

Default Just to let you guys know, I had to swap

my lightweight setup from APR out as I wore mine out also. Beause of time and money I ended up keeping the aluminum flywheel and installing a stock style clutch disk with a pressure plate that has slightly more clamping force. I was worried about this setup as now I have no dual mass flywheel or a clutch disk with the take up springs for smooth engagement. Well, so far so good. No clutch chatter and the take up is still smooth. Only have about 1500 miles on this setup but I will keep everyone informed if bad things start to happen. This setup seems to be quieter also. You guys with the light setup know what I am talking about.

Default I wasn't real impressed with APR's clutch/pressure plate, but I loved the flywheel....

So I sent the flywheel to APR to have a new steel section put in, and to have it rebalanced. Juan has a Werks of Art setup made just for the APR flywheel.
