The clutch pilot bearing an oil-impregnated type fitted between the rear of the crankshaft and pressed against the front of the transmission input shaft should be checked whenever the clutch parts are detached from the engine. In the case of doubt because of the impossibility of examining its state, it is better to install a new unit. Start with the elimination of the major part such as the transmission as well as the clutch assembly. Wipe it with a rag and using a torch take a closer look at the bearing for such signs as wear, scoring or damage. In some models, it can be removed using only a special puller and slide hammer attachment; after removing the bearing, it is necessary to clean the crankshaft recess. For installation, lubricate the outside surface of the new bearing with oil and fixing it into the recess by using a driver and hammer. Last but not the least replace all the components that were removed to gain access to the pilot bearing part such as the clutch part, the transmission as well as other correspondents.

The clutch pilot bearing is a needle roller type bearing which is pressed into the rear of the crankshaft. It's greased at the factory and does not require additional lubrication. Its primary purpose is to support the front of the transmission input shaft. The pilot bearing should be inspected whenever the clutch components are removed from the engine. Because of its inaccessibility, replace it with a new one if you have any doubt about its condition. If the engine has been removed from the vehicle, disregard the following which don't apply. Remove the transmission. Remove the clutch components. Check the bearing for excessive wear, scoring, lack of grease, roughness or obvious damage. If any of these conditions are noted, the bearing should be replaced. A flashlight will be helpful to direct light into the recess. Removal can be accomplished with a special puller, but an alternative method also works very well. Find a solid steel bar which is slightly smaller in diameter than the bearing. Alternatives to a solid bar would be a wood dowel or a socket with a bolt fixed in place to make it solid. Check the bar for fit-it should just slip into the bearing with very little clearance. Pack the bearing and the area behind it with heavy grease. Pack it tightly to eliminate as much air as possible. Insert the bar into the bearing bore and strike the bar sharply with a hammer, which will force the grease to the back side of the bearing and push it out. Remove the bearing and clean all grease from the crankshaft recess. To install the new bearing, lightly lubricate the outside surface with grease, then drive it into the recess with a soft-face hammer. Some bearings have an O-ring seal, which must face out. Install the clutch components, transmission and all other components removed previously. Tighten all fasteners to the recommended torque.

When removing the clutch components, it is important to inspect the pilot bearing for excessive wear, scoring, dryness, roughness, or any other damage. Removal can be done using a special puller or by using a solid steel bar, wood dowel, or socket with a fixed bolt. The bar should fit snugly into the bearing.

To install the new bearing, lightly lubricate the outside surface with grease and use a soft-face hammer to drive it into the recess. Some bearings may have an O-ring seal that should face outwards. Finally, reassemble the clutch components, transmission, and other previously removed parts, ensuring that all fasteners are tightened to the recommended torque.

The Clutch pilot bearing is located at the other end of the crankshaft; it is pressed into place to support the front of the driveshaft and should be checked whenever the clutch components are removed off the engine. If there is any doubt about its condition, it is far better to change it as quite often, the engine has been removed from the car it has to be bolted to something. First, you have to pull out transmission and the drive line support/driveshaft, second - all the clutch parts. If the bearing is worn, rough or dry or shows any sign of other abuse it is recommended to change it. The removal can be done using a small slide-hammer and puller attachment that can be bought in auto parts stores and tool supply outlets once one has removed the driveshaft tunnel panel fasteners and the panel in question. After the removal of the bearing, the bore must be cleaned and the area in the crankshaft recess behind the bore. In a new pilot bearing, it is advisable to grease the outer surface with lithium based grease so that you have to drive the bearing into the recess till it lies flush with the crankshaft using a hammer and bearing driver or socket. Finally we replace all the clutch components, transmission and all the other parts that have been first removed in the process and make sure all the bolts are well tightened.

Starting a little more gently you pull out the transmission and then proceed to take of the clutch. The pilot bearing is there to receive the forward end of the transmission input shaft in the form of bearing pressed on the end of the crankshaft and bugs service when the clutch is removed. Clean the bearing, using a blade, and check for wear and damages; in case of wear, use a new bearing. It can be performed with a special nut-buster, or, if necessary, with the help of hydraulic instruments. Hydraulic method: look for a strong steel bar that should be slightly smaller than bearing i.d, usually of a size 19/32 inch. Cob the bearing and the region behind it with thick grease, and try to avoid as much air in the depression as possible. Place the bar in the bearing bore and strike it gently with a hammer and this will in a way exert pressure on the grease to push the bearing out. This type requires that the grease is cleaned from the crankshaft after removal. Before fitting the new bearing, one is required to spread a thin layer of oil over the outer surface of the bearing, and then drive it into place with the bearing driver made out of a steel bar and a soft-faced hammer so that the radius is now turned outwards from the bore. The other steps of installation are the reverse of the steps of uninstallation as mentioned above.
