<VV> Flywheel questions

[JVHRoberts at aol.com]

If the flywheel is riveted, it may give you problems. If the rivets loosen,  
you WILL lose the starter nose, and possibly the TO bearing snout on the  
differential. I've had so many of them with loose rivets, I've given up on stock  
flywheels.

Is it  necessary/ beneficial to pull the engine to replace
a flywheel on a late  model four-speed?

I'm replacing a trans and possibly a differential,  and 
I'm pondering going ahead and replacing the flywheel on
general  principles. 

As far as I know, my present stock flywheel is  fine.

Is it easy enough to leave the flywheel alone for now
and  replace it later if (or some would say when) it 
gives problems?
