Then, there is a rectangular cup washer with a thick piece of rubber that sits on top of the flywheel bracket. All must line up so that a large bolt with a cast round washer can go through all so that a castellated nut can be put on the lower end of the bolt. It's a chore to line everything up on both sides!
