What's a red eye? If the first four numbers from the old flywheel match up with the ones on the replacement, they should swap. I'd suggest just getting the correct one instead of trying to jerry-rig a chainsaw. eBay is a great resource for used parts and they're usually fairly cheap.
That's because of the flash position being so close to the center of the lens. You are not alone with this problem as pretty well every point and shoot camera will suffer some type of flash red eye.
Some of the upper level pint and shoot have a red eye reduction mode that can be used check your manual. What this does is sends out a high intensity light so your subject's pupils will close down then the pictures is made. Others will have a red eye correction function built into the camera. If you have Photoshop I believe under tools there is a red eye correction tool. I'm using Photoshop CS4 and it's in that and I believe it's on PS 7 and PS 5 I'm not sure if Elements has it or not.
There isn't a whole lot you can do about it due to the location of the flash. The flash needs to be above the center line of the lens by at least 6 inches and even then depending on the subject to camera distance it's possible to get red eye.
Red eye happens because the flash is close to the lens. Even with the red eye reduction function, you're still going to get some. You can either use off-camera flash, or correct it in software.
Red-eye is actually caused by the light from the flash bouncing off the back of the retina and picking up the color red from the blood vessels.
To correct this effect, follow these steps:
Turn the mode dial to PlayBack Mode (green arrow) and display the image with redeye.
Press OK\Menu button.
Using the arrow pad, navigate to MODE MENU>EDIT>REDEYE FIX.
Press the right arrow key, START will display.
Press OK\Menu
After {BUSY} bar displays, a screen will display with an option to cancel or save the image.
? If the option [Go] is displayed, press the OK\Menu button. This saves a corrected version of the image.
? If the option CANCEL is displayed, than the camera was unable to correct the image. Press the left arrow key to exit.
This correction may not work on all pictures. If you import the original image into Olympus Master software you can also apply the Red-Eye fix located in the Edit menu. This lets you precisely pinpoint the eye area and remove the red. It even lets you remove green or blue, which can occur with animals.
