SQRLPWR Posted August 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 After a bit of struggling with rusted and hard to reach bolts, and grinding down a 12mm socket to fit, I finally got the injected intake manifold off Removed the clutch off the good motor to find it's in pretty good shape, so I'll keep it as a spare. Throw-out bearing only had a few balls left in it LOL Now, how to get the pilot bearing out without a puller ? - I've tried the fill it with grease trick.

82Yota Posted August 5, 2016 Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 Ive never had luck with the grease trick but the paper towel and water trick works it just takes longer. Take small strips of papertowel. wet them in a bowl of water, ball them up and stick them in the bearing hole. When it gets full take a 1/4" socket extension and tap the balls of papertowel till they're flat, You gotta keep doing thatfor a bit but It will come out eventually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always just used grease, to take both types of pilots out, roller and bushing, also took the pilot slugs out the same way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerram Posted August 5, 2016 Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 Jay, from the looks of that flywheel, you should have it resurfaced or replaced, I see a lot of hot spots on it, that could cause a lot of potential for "shudder" when clutching Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SQRLPWR Posted August 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 Yeah I noticed that. I'm gonna see what condition the other one is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not much better, I know who owned it and drove it . My ford flywheel was only $100 new and had it next day, but when I ordered new one for 351 I had to wait for a couple days and still $100. You can have it resurfaced at Nova, not sure on there wait time but but should have a quick turnaround Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
82Yota Posted August 5, 2016 Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 Nova had my flywheel done in about an hour or so but they're busy these days so I'm not sure on how quick will be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SQRLPWR Posted August 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 I'm guessing plowing does that to a clutch. The other flywheel is still shiny, with only a few little dark spots. I'll swap 'em over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
82Yota Posted August 5, 2016 Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 I would still have it machined. You have a new clutch and pressure plate, might as well turn the flywheel so everything is on the same page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame to ruin a good clutch/plate and have to take it all apart again.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark spots are hardened spots anf will lead to shuddering and also higher than the rest of the surface so contact will be unEven. Y scrimp now when everything else is new. Yep, Nova is fast or price one up, like I said mine was only $100 and had it the next day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonna have make a tool to torque up the crankshaft bolt to 95lbs Flywheel next. To keep it from spinning? Just remove a plug and stick a length of rope in the cylinder so it only compresses so much. Works for the flywheel too. just make sure to tie a knit in the end or you're gonna spend a day fishing out the rope haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put a couple flywheel bolts in, install a bell housing bolt, slide prybar between flywheel bolts and let rest on Bell housing bolt. Now torque front crank bolt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
