Ok so the clutch kit i received for my b18 came with a pilot bearing that is not fitting in the flywheel. So far as i can tell everywhere i look the clutch pilot bearings from 1990-2000 integras are all the same no matter what model of b18. That being said i cant imagine how i received the correct clutch kit and yet the seemingly universal b18 pilot bearing that came with it just plain doesnt fit in the flywheel.

Regardless of the reason why its not fitting i do know i need a pilot bearing. would this work?

take a small 2X4 put it on the bearing and hit it the wood with a rubber mallet.

 

I got a pilot bearing for my flywheel and went to put it in. I was all pissed cause it was WAY too big...Then I realized I had to put the pilot bearing in from the backside of the flywheel, not the front.

I am not accusing you as being as silly as I am , just a thought.

I don;t know anything about b-series flywheels or pilot bearings though. Good luck.

 

yep that'll do it! it definately has to go in from the back side and that was the problem . whats more awesome is the flywheel is already on and torqued to spec and now i have to take it back off. which wouldnt suck as much if i didnt have to borrow the damn socket for the flywheel bolts from somebody in the first place. grrr

 

best way to learn is trial and error

I bet you wont do that ever again.
