How to INSTALL pilot bearing/bushing?
Ok I got the old bushing (no bearing, just a regular bushing) out as discussed in the other thread.
I went down and got a roller bearing from the dealer for around $10. The bearing is slightly larger then the one I removed. Its the same OD as the ones that came with the clutch kits. All the bushings I have dont want to go in except the one I removed (which may be wore down). So my question is, do I have to hammer this thing in? I dont want to damage anything. I used my modified alignment tool again and hit on hit with a rubber mallet. It went in a little bit. I then used the tool with a regular hammer. Dont think it moved much. I know the modified alignment tool has flex and isnt passing all the force from the hit through. Which may be a good thing. How the heck do I get this thing in? Is the proper method to hammer it in? Can I use a steel washer and steel bolt against the bearing to hammer it in? Please let me know ASAP, I have to get this thing in so I can start putting everything back together tomorrow night and saturday. thank.
