im doing a b16a swap into my crx, i have an ls tranny that im going to use for the swap.

i figured out on my own how to replace the T.O bearing but know i have a pilot bearing problem. it looks like i can fit it into my fly wheel ( 8lbs fidanza). do i insert the bearing in the fly wheel then put the flywheel on the motor, or do i put the bearing on the motor then put the flywheel on?

thanks ahead of time.

 

put it into the flywheel.

 

there isnt going to be any messing around when i put it on the motor is there

 

the only way you should be able to do it is the put the bearing in first. it need to be seated, if you look you will see a little lip that the bearing sits on, also the bearing will not sit flush, it will stick out a bit so don't beat the hell out of it trying to get it flush.

 

no everything will be ok, that is how honda says to do it, what you want to do tho, is get a socket about the same size as the bearing and you use the socket to tap it into the flywheel, so you dont risk damaging it.

 

thanks guys really appreciate it.

 

wait.......... do i really even need it?

because when i pulled the tranny of the integra motor, i took of the fly wheel and i didnt see any thing that looked like a pilot bearing any were in sight.
