How to inspect and replace the clutch pilot bearing for Chevrolet Camaro?

The clutch pilot bearing, which supports the front of the transmission input shaft, is pressed into the end of the crankshaft. It is recommended to inspect the bearing whenever the clutch components are removed, and if there are any doubts about its condition, it should be replaced. The removal process involves taking out the transmission and clutch components, and inspecting the bearing for wear, roughness, lack of grease, or damage. If any of these issues are found, the bearing should be replaced. Removal can be done using a small slide-hammer and puller attachment. After removal, the bore and the area behind it in the crankshaft recess should be cleaned. For installation, a new pilot bearing should be lightly lubricated with lithium-based grease and driven into the recess with a hammer and a bearing driver or socket until it is flush with the surface of the crankshaft. Finally, the clutch components, transmission, and all other previously removed components should be installed, with all fasteners tightened securely.
