I recently replaced my rear main seal on my 85' 5 spd and while pulling the flywheel off i broke a bearing inside the eccentric shaft. what the hell should i do??? HELP!

 

How did you manage to break the pilot bearing? It can be replaced.

 

Im an idiot. I used a puller and it popped out with the bearing. Do you know where i could find one, or even how to reinstall it correctly?

 

You broke the pilot bearing? Are you sure?

You can get a PB from any of the big rotary names. Mazda, Mazdatrix, Atkins rotary. You probably need a new PB seal too. And it has to be pressed into the shaft.

 

Yes i broke the pilot bearing... bought a new one for like 7 bucks. anyways everything is back in and its not leaking except for one spot looks to be under the oil filter/oil cooler. havent looked too much into it because im so stoked that its not pouring out oil.
