| Post subject: | Remove Trans Pilot Bearing From Engine |
I did a search and could not find this. I need to remove the trans pilot bearing from the end of the crank. It is not in the flywheel but at the end of crank. I need some tricks / advice that works for removing this. I am ready to start bolting trans,and new clutch with pilot bearing so it has to go!! |

A simple old trick is to fill the bushing full of grease, then with a shaft the same diameter as the end of the input shaft, you hit the shaft (trying to drive it in) with a hammer. The grease will not compress and will force the bushing out, or you can use a bushing removal tool. Richard |

There are 3 ways to accomplish this task: 1) Fopar's way works good, especially if you have an old input shaft lying around from anotehr tranny you can beat on with a 5 lb dead blow hammer...(junkyard 3 speeds used to be good donors...) 2) You can buy a pilot bushing puller from a tool store (this assumes you will use it more than once (I've used my harbor freight one 3 times in 10 years...) 3) The caveman procedure says you can score it with a die grinder or sawzall blade or split it with a cold chisel and pry it out (do not nick the crank bushing cavity). #1 is pretty slick if you have the items on hand #2 at harbor freight is about $10.99 #3 I've done and is not easy to accomplish, and definately is a lot of time and sweat. -D.Idiot |
