Pilot Berarings, but use a pilot bearing puller made for the rotary engines. We have them in stock and the bearing pops out in a matter of seconds...................... My 2 cents

Also, What many people forget to do is order the pilot bearing seal.

This will help keep the grease in, alot of people forget this part. It will help HUGE amounts. Its worth the extra couple of bucks.

rx7.com sells them and they ship hella fast. (sorry got to plug)

hehe..... Do what I do..... Order a lightweight flywheel at the same time, this way you don't have to bother with pulling the bearing out of the old one... LOL

Sorry, the pilot bearing resides in the end of the e-shaft. Changing flywheels won't do it.

If you use the proper tool the pilot bearing is a breeze to remove.I have the Mazdatrix puller,and the job cannot be easier.I would suggest that if you plan on keeping a rotary in your garage,then you should invest in the proper tool.It will pay for itself in short order when you have moved onto another part of the repair of your car after using this tool.
