How do I remove the dual mass flywheel Torx50+
Posted: Wed May 21, 2014 10:01 pmHi guys,
Recently had the clutch go on my 01 gen3 liberty. I removed the box to see I have a DMF (dual mass flywheel). I've purchased the SMF (single/solid mass flywheel) conversion kit ($827) but am stuck trying to remove the dmf. Firstly the holes didn't line up with the bolt heads, so after 20 mins on the angle grinder I've removed the front action and now have access to the bolts.
To cut a long story short, I've researched that something called a Torx50+ (not normal torx50) is required. Can anyone advise where to purchase this tool? I've tried the usual places with no success. Is it called something different here? The other sites were American. From what I've read using a normal t50 will more than likely round the bolt heads. It's like using a ph screwdriver on a pz screw.
