Im not sure that I have a flexplate, unless it is mounted on the engine side of the flywheel. Not real familiar with a flexplate, but arent those with auto trans? I have never had the flywheel off, so never had bolts out. But that may be something to check, as the owner before me may have done that. Does anyone know torque specs for flywheel bolts?
