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 |

Don't worry about it. If you put another bearing in the flywheel it won't touch the one in your crank. The trans input shaft is tapered on the end. Here is a different "spin" on that extra bearing in the crank. It is insurance if the crank pilot bearing fails. I only had only one bearing in the crank and not the flywheel. It held that input shaft from really screwing up the tranny, but I had a constant oil leak because there was enough movement on the tranny seal.
