Clarification?
chedda_j,
OK. So you dropped the tranny (on the manual, not the automatic), removed the clutch pressure plate, the clutch disc, and you're looking at the flywheel, correct? There's a hole in the center of the flywheel (that's the eccentric shaft) and yes there should be a pilot bearing inside. But as trochoid said, the "rollers" in the pilot bearing are probably gone and you are just looking at the outer casing (the race), which make it look like nothing is there. If this is what you are talking about, then click the link below (and yes you'll still have to get the old one out or else the new pilot bearing will deform and be useless when you install it)
