Re: Flywheel removal
The throw out bearing goes on the clutch fork. Be sure to get it facing
the correct way.
The pilot bearing goes in the center of the crank with a gotcha. The
gotcha is a foam or felt pad insert inside the crank end that needs to
be oiled well with 10W30 or heavier oil to keep the pilot bearing lubed
for life. You can did the old one out and clean it, then oil it up
fresh.

Re: Flywheel removal
According to the Advance Adapters web site, the sleeve type of throwout
bearing that this vehicle uses is very susceptible to contamination.
Any dirt that you leave inside the bell housing is going to get into
the seal, and make it leak hydraulic fluid.
I saw a "new, improved" throwout bearing on their web site, but I don't
know if this is necessary. It seems that cleanliness on reassembly
should be sufficient. In view of the trouble it takes to get this
thing apart, it wouldn't hurt to err on the side of paranoia here.

I saw a "new, improved" throwout bearing on their web site, but I don't
know if this is necessary. It seems that cleanliness on reassembly
should be sufficient. In view of the trouble it takes to get this
thing apart, it wouldn't hurt to err on the side of paranoia here.

Re: Flywheel removal
According to the Advance Adapters web site, the sleeve type of throwout
bearing that this vehicle uses is very susceptible to contamination.
Any dirt that you leave inside the bell housing is going to get into
the seal, and make it leak hydraulic fluid.
I saw a "new, improved" throwout bearing on their web site, but I don't
know if this is necessary. It seems that cleanliness on reassembly
should be sufficient. In view of the trouble it takes to get this
