pilot bearing seal/retainer ? midst of tranny swap m46 200

posted by  someone claiming to be Will Seals on  Sun Jun 2 18:59 CST 2002 [RELATED]

hey, I just got done with a clutch and let me pass on what I learned...

1. The retainer is also held in my the back two bolts of the oil pan. Just undo the two and the retainer will come out. Use a utility knife to cut a little of the gasket. Use RTV sealent when re-install at the bottom of the retainer.

2. An auto-body dent puller works great for pulling out the pilot bearing. Just buy a cheap one at the auto parts store (less than $20). Take the new bearing with you to make sure the end of the dent puller will fit in the hole.

3. Check the teeth on the fly wheel. Rotate it on re-install for "fresh" teeth and spent the $35 to have it re-surfaced.

4. Have a "crap" load of extentions (about 24" worth) when installing the tranny.

5. have fun.....

Will
