Isn't this bearing supposed to be in the flywheel?
How do I get the bugger out? What should I do here? (IMG:http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3182/2335190315_28837f1729.jpg) If it is not an issue, please let me know. Its in there pretty good. I figure I am going to have to weld a bolt to it to get it out. Right now, I have no purchase. Zach |

Well, the bearing in his photo is not properly seated in the crank. It should be full seated, then there would be enough room. As it stands now, probably not. His choices are to to determine if that bearing still would adequately. If not it must be removed and the spacer sourced. If it is still serviceable, then seat it properly and install the other bearing in the flywheel, also properly. Then there should be enough room for the felt washer (soaked in oil) to fit between the bearing and the new lock plate.
