Can the pilot bearing be installed into the flywheel without a press. I do have a vise. Any good easy methods?

The pilot bearing does sit in the flywheel. It should be 3.2mm recessed to leave space for the felt washer. There is a spacer in the end of the crankshaft that prevents the pilot bearing from being installed to deeply.
Miy spacer was missing in the new crank and the only one I could find new was from Porsche in a warehouse in Germany. I finally made one from some pipe I had around. I don't recall the dimensions. It just took some measuring and fitting. If I remember it was a pilot bearing installed in the crank instead of the flywheel that ate SirAndy's input shaft seal. Dave |
