Default JWT Flywheel installation Question

So before I do this over the coming weekend, and to avoid doing it twice...
I want to make sure the hole I'm looking to line up is the correct hole...

So my JWT flywheel is the one pictured below... (Back side)
It doesnt say 350z on it, it says front / rear on the two holes...

I'm guessing based on the attatched JWT page that I line up the right (marked rear in the picture) hole with the hole that has the red arrow on the other picture?



Been looking at this post, and believe I am correct, but better ask than do it over...

either is fine.........i have no idea on the longevity of the roller one, but i have done tons of installs with the brass one and the oem ones i inspect look great! so not much wear is going on there.........which leads me to believe either will hold up fine....

use a 14mm socket to rubber hammer tap it in...

use a slide hammer to remove the oem one.

Does this appear OK?

I picked this up some 6 months ago from another member with 3k +/- on it.
The screws that hold the plate on the flywheel are all below the surface, but some are pretty close to the top...

The pressure plate still has the original "machineing" groves in it. IE - You can feel them with your finger nail as you run it from inside to out.

clutch is an Exedy Unity

I'm going to install this tomorrow night...

^ well, honestly, with a new clutch kit, ie clutch disk and clutch pressure plate i would rock it!

but on the flip side, a replacement disc is fairly cheap..

My vote would be to install as is....ive done so with worse...
