Re: Flywheel removal UPDATE: PICS
Nope, just a little bit of red hi-temp bearing grease. The clutch kit
included a small packet of grease that is intended for the pilot bearing and
the input shaft. Will the small packet be all I need?
Sorry for the confusion.

The temptation exists to provide excessive lubrication to this part. Try to
avoid it.
The bearing should be pre-lubricated with just enough grease to wet all the
needle bearings. If it is not, then work some grease in, enough to get all
the needles wet, and remove the rest. Pay attention to the differences
between the crank end of the bearing and the flywheel end. The flywheel end
probably has a little rubber seal. There is no need to supply extra
lubrication, unless you want it leaking all over the clutch surfaces. Since
the transmission pilot shaft rides directly on the needle bearings, inspect
and clean the surface of the shaft before reassembly. If this is worn, then
you may have problems, manifested as popping out of gear.
A guy I knew in the seventies would disassemble the transmission sometimes,
to get at the pilot shaft, which he used as an alignment tool. He was a
show off, but beautiful to watch in action. If you need an alignment tool,
you know where to find it. :o)

The temptation exists to provide excessive lubrication to this part. Try to
avoid it.
The bearing should be pre-lubricated with just enough grease to wet all the
needle bearings. If it is not, then work some grease in, enough to get all
the needles wet, and remove the rest. Pay attention to the differences
between the crank end of the bearing and the flywheel end. The flywheel end
probably has a little rubber seal. There is no need to supply extra
lubrication, unless you want it leaking all over the clutch surfaces. Since
the transmission pilot shaft rides directly on the needle bearings, inspect
and clean the surface of the shaft before reassembly. If this is worn, then
you may have problems, manifested as popping out of gear.
A guy I knew in the seventies would disassemble the transmission sometimes,
to get at the pilot shaft, which he used as an alignment tool. He was a
show off, but beautiful to watch in action. If you need an alignment tool,
you know where to find it. :o)
