Hi all, trying to install my flywheel and after driving in a new pilot bearing it's pretty flush on both sides of the flywheel no room for a felt washer. Is it simply pelican sent me the wrong pilot bearing? Or I'm confusing something? Rookie mistake I throw my old bearing away so I didn't match it up. Would send pics but having trouble with that also thank you in advance for your expertise. Bearing #HK1512

That is the correct bearing, needs to be pushed in far enough to accommodate the felt ring which needs a bit of oil, bearing needs some grease.

To make a little room for the felt washer the front sticks out a bit. It shows it flush in some of the installations I've seen. Is that normal?

If the pic is to small I can take a close up. I guess another question is how to make the pics a bit smaller? Thanks again in advance.

If the file sizes of the pictures are too big then I email them to myself and it gives the option to reduce them.
