223 with 10 inch clutch new ring gear replacement
Has anyone replaced the flywheel ring gear on a f100 with a 10 inch clutch? I got the ring gear up to 650 degrees and it still will not go on. Not even close. I really hoped to have my truck back moving under it's own power this weekend but this has me at a dead stop. The Youtube videos make it look so easy...

I dont have the answer,but i changed out one on my 240 with no heat available with the help of 2 vice grip pliers.
Re: 223 with 10 inch clutch new ring gear replacement
I used my natural gas grill which can get up to ~700 degrees. I left it in for 30 minutes and my temp gun registered it at 650 but it was still not even close to going on.
I don't have access to a torch right now with the social distance thing going. I usually use the in-law's, but since they are not in great health we have been staying away from their house to keep them safe.

Re: 223 with 10 inch clutch new ring gear replacement
you might trying heating just the ring gear, if you heat them both at the same time tey expand at the same rate.

I did heat just the ring gear. I kept the flywheel in a cool place away from the grill so it did not expand as well.unibody madness wrote:you might trying heating just the ring gear, if you heat them both at the same time tey expand at the same rate.
I have a used flywheel with a good ring gear being delivered tomorrow as plan B...

Re: 223 with 10 inch clutch new ring gear replacement
Try this ...
Put your flywheel in the freezer (or get it cold with ice)
Put your ring in the oven or grill
Then set your. Flywheel on flat surface
Working quickly ...It "should" drop right on .....
If it doesn't .... do you have one of those small bottle torches ?
They cost like $25 at a hardware store...
Heat it even hotter with it & should go

Talking to some guys on another forum it seems the ring gear on these is a tighter fit than most.

Going to have to get a big torch with a "rose bud" tip
Hotter it is ... more it grows ( to a point ! )

Re: 223 with 10 inch clutch new ring gear replacement
The spare flywheel I bought showed up yesterday in fantastic shape. I just got finished buttoning it all back up. Doing a clutch install by yourself is hard work and i'm worn out, but it is working great.
Once all is back to normal i'll get access to a torch and try to get the ring gear installed on my now spare original flywheel.
