Yeah, that looks done. Basically, the test procedure is to twist the pressure plate surface of the flywheel about 15mm (measured at flywheel's edge) to both the left and the right and check to see if it returns to approximately its original position. If the flywheel cannot be twisted at all, or if the flywheel can be twisted beyond the 15mm without a noticeable increase in the spring force, then the flywheel is likely to be faulty.
