The flywheel is an important component in manual transmission vehicles
Better Brakes specialise in stepped, flat and recessed flywheel machining to suit all vehicle makes and models, from everyday passenger cars, 4WD and small trucks.
All our specialised equipment provide precision machining and accurate data and testing to ensure your flywheel surface is smooth and in perfect working order. We also provide flywheel lightening machining services giving you a flywheel with faster acceleration and response, particularly useful for motor sport vehicles or those who want a powerful throttle.
Your vehicle’s flywheel should be machined or replaced every time your clutch is repaired or replaced as many manufacturer’s will refuse warranty claims if this is not done. A worn or badly damaged flywheel will often lead to expensive clutch repairs.
Wear & Tear on Brake Parts
Every time you use your brakes, wear and tear will occur on the brake disc/drum. Cracks may form from heat, rust or mineral deposits may form on the surface, and uneven wearing of the surface may occur from inconsistent force applied to the brakes.
If detected early, minor imperfections can be corrected with machining resulting in almost new disc/drum surfaces and avoiding the higher cost of replacements. Also, if only one brake disc/drum is affected and the rest and nearly perfect, machining may be recommended as discs/drums should be replaced in pairs to ensure even braking that doesn’t pull to one side.
Flywheel Resurfacing
Flywheel machining requires specialised equipment and trained technicians. Improper resurfacing can actually cause more damage putting your safety at risk. Our experienced technicians at Better Brakes will inspect your flywheel for cracks or for severe wear on your flywheel to see if replacement is advised. If your flywheel can be machined our technicians will carry out this process complying with manufacturer’s specifications using precision equipment to guarantee the flywheel is perfectly flat.
