There is something wrong with what you are saying....

The flywheel is the part on the back of the engine with the ring gear on
it for the starter to grab. It has about a 4" hole in it and 5 bolts
holding it on......

I 'have' rebuilt an 89 258 and it's crank had the pilot bearing in it.
The pilot bearing has about a 1/2" hole in it for the very end of the
tranny shaft.

Are you sure you are not talking the pressure plate on the tranny side
of things that has a throw out bearing for it????

There are two faces you need machined, one is the pressure plate, the
other is the flywheel on the back of the engine. If you only do one
side, the clutch will likely judder.
