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, I treid the grease trick last night to pop the bearing out.
I grabbed a metal rod the closest diameter to the ID of the bearing, and then wrapped it with tape to make it a really tight fit. I squirted grease into the cavity until each squeeze of grease just squeezed grease back out. I put the metal rod in the bearing, and whacked it with a hammer. Results? The 2 wraps of tape around the rod were blown off, and a big blob of grease was violently evacuated. The bearing did not move. I tried three times, failed three times, and tapped the bearing into place. it spins easily, and is not other wise marred, so I am just going to let this one lie. Aside from this, the engine is ready to be re-tinned and then ready to go back in the car. Zach |
