    Having trouble removing my flywheel

    I’ve got my 2.4L on a hoist and need to remove the flywheel before bolting it to the stand. I have the clutch plate removed but need help/instructions on how to remove the flywheel. I don’t see any bolts, just a plate that the clutch disc came off of. Photo attached. Thanks.

    Update - I noticed the engine was tilting up in the front, used the leveler attached to the hoist and once it was more even, it separated from the trans. Thanks again for your guys advice.
