Counting up all the things to order while i have it off for a new TO Bearing.

I found this. The stud pulled right out. Thoughts on repair?

Any of the listed inserts above will work.

But I would recommend that you measure the depth of the hole, and when you drill it out for the insert, wrap some tape around your drill bit as a stop. It is really easy to drill all the way through and end up with a gear oil leak.

Also remember the exact height of the ball pivot is important. If the flywheel is machined to the max the ball pivot stud needs to be shimmed out to get the correct throw out arm geometry. I would attempt to measure the installed height. I hav a trans case and can measure that for you if needed.

Since my plan is to keep the current FW, i would like to know about the geometry. So you wouldn’t measure thickness of the flywheel as well?

Please do Bruce, Thanks
