Pilot Bearing???

batlaxe · May 13th, 2009, 09:30 PM

Is this my Pilot bearing? WHat I need is the bearing that sits inside the end of my crankshaft.
I would assemble in this order I think.

Crank - Bearing - Seperator Plate - Flywheel - Clutch - Transmission

Here is the bearing the partsource gave me:

This is preventing me from assembling my powertrain so if someone knows please tell me how I am supposed to use this, or what I am supposed to get.

Ok I have tried everything from packing the hole with grease, to a bearing puller and even broke a chissel. This thing is not coming out. It has not even budged.

Any Ideas? The grease started smoking. Bent the hell out of a $50 bearing puller. And broke the tip right off a chissel. To be fair, it was a wood chissel. But I am stumped. I would rather not have to drag my buddy's oxy/accetelene getup out to my garage but I am beginning to wonder wheter I would like to chance replacing that lol.

I've never had to take one out, just install new one into a new crank... I would try using a thin screw-driver and try and work your way around the crank snout, hopefully this will help... do you have a chiltons or anything like that?

I win. I needed a new drill anyways. 5 Titanium drill bits, a hammer and a chisel. ARGGGG
I have the Haynes Repair Manual for 79-93.

This is the old bearing now.

And the assembled Clutch and Flywheel.

You know, I am honestly not sure. It was the clutch that was already on the motor. I looked it over cleaned it up and it still has plenty of meat on it so at the very least it will get me home.
