This is my post over at Focusst.org for the first lightweight billet flywheel for the Focus ST.
Update:
This is a build log of sorts that will lead up to my reinstall of the flywheel and pressure plate assembly later next week. A video will be uploaded shortly showing the removal using inadequate tools leading up to using tools that have more "umph" so-to-speak.
USE CAUTION WHEN WORKING ON AN ELEVATED VEHICLE. CHOCK THE WHEELS, USE EXTRA JACK STANDS, USE AN ENGINE SUPPORT BAR, USE A FLOOR JACK AND 2X4 FOR EXTRA SUPPORT ON THE ENGINE, WEAR YOU EYE AND EAR PROTECTION, USE STURDY LEATHER GLOVES, WEAR LONG PANTS AND AT LEAST LEATHER BOOTS BUT STEEL TOE IS SAFER. FAILURE TO WORK SAFE MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, SERIOUS BODILY INJURY, OR A VERY GROSS DEATH. NEVER WORK UNDER AN SUSPENDED LOAD ALONE, TRY TO HAVE ANOTHER PERSON WITH YOU. PLEASE FOLLOW ALL SAFETY PROCEDURES WHEN USING AIR TOOLS TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO YOU OR YOUR VEHICLE. IF YOU DONT HAVE THE RIGHT TOOL, STOP AND BUY/RENT/BORROW THE RIGHT ONE.
I didnt want to say anything about this until i had the flywheel off and ready to ship but, Spec has agreed to use my flywheel assembly to make a new production lightweight billet for the Focus ST!
Here as some images of the pressure plate and flywheel assembly. All of the work leading up to this was completed using ocysP's how-to on installing an LSD. This will eventually be completed to show the how to remove/install the clutch and flywheel assembly as there is not one up yet
