2 of the 3 pins of my flywheel are out of their place and come in contact with the bell. The bell is injured and probably my centax does not work properly.

I moved them backwards but after one day of practice they were again out of place.

Is there anything I can do to make them stay at their place??

Thanks!

This is interesting. Which flywheel are you using, ie Stock, lightweight, dynamic or other?

I am using the High dynamic clutch.

I am a bit worried about all this because the bell is also worn because of the pins and I am afraid I will have to change it WHEN I solve the flywheel problem...

Has anyone else noticed something like that??

We don't have high dynamic, however, I would say that it unlikely that you can cure this problem because the pins would be a force fit into the flywheel so you probably need a new flywheel and bell.

I am afraid you are right.
But this solution is a bit expensive so now I tried to press the holes with my pliers and try to make them a bit smaller so that the pins stick in them. I am now really optimistic about this solution but I wanted to try :D

Does anyone have any other solution that I could try?

I hope you succeed but I doubt it will work. As the flywheel is alloy and the pins are steel, I guess that the flywheel is probably heated and the pins inserted so that, when the flywheel cools, it shrinks onto the pins. That's my logic but hope your DIY works

the use of a good strong "red" loctite often cures this
