W58 Pilot Bearing

[JustAnotherVictim]

Ok so I go buy a pilot bearing for the w58 yesterday and it ends up being way too small for the hole in the flywheel.
Do the R154 and w58 use different size pilot bearings? Every place I check only shows one pilot bearing for both. The Tsrm wasn't much help either, I tried searching the epc and apparently they don't use "pilot" but use "bearing" and "clutch" about a million times. :icon_conf

6201-2RSJ that is the bearing number.

the pilot bearing dosnt go in the flywheel. it goes in the crank.

 

[JustAnotherVictim]

Hmmmm.... That could be my problem, the tsrm makes it look like it sits inside the flywheel.
I will definately look into it when I get home. Thanks lagged.

Hey now don't rub it in. :icon_razz


You and your dirty avatar....

 

[chriso]

Not rubbing it in, just trying to give a 2nd opinion.

If I wanted to rub it in I would laugh when you try and remove the old pilot bearing (if you crank has one), that is a beeeech.:biglaugh:

Oh and now I have to change my avatar.

 

[JustAnotherVictim]

I know I'm just messing with you.

Well my other pilot bearing already popped out with the other tranny so I think I'm ok there.

Hey Rick, forgot to ask, did you ever get those grill pieces and do you need a Toyota badge that goes on them. I found an extra one.

 

[JustAnotherVictim]

Yes, I did get the grills, thank you.
I do not have a Toyota badge for them though. If you want to hook it up that works for me.

 

[chriso]

Sure np, pm your addy and I'll send it out for you "au gratis".

 

[JustAnotherVictim]

You sir, are the awesome.

 

[JustAnotherVictim]

Ok so since I already made this thread awhile ago.

How did you get your pilot bearing out?
I have one that is stuck pretty good in the crank I need to use, so far nothing I've tried had worked.
Suggestions? Engine is out of the car but the crank is being held in place by the mains.

Either use a slide hammer or some Grease and something the same diameter as the hole!

Push the grease in then the rod, tap with a hammer then put some more grease in and repeat!

 

[JustAnotherVictim]

I don't think I have a slide hammer.
I should have plenty of grease though.
Been banging on that thing for almost 20 mins with barely any results. :nono:

Thanks IJ

Worked nicely once I found a proper tool.
