I am trying to find out what the pilot bearing looks like in the eccentric shaft I took mine out of my enigne, however i am trying to remove it i took to little metal rings out of there but i see no pilot bearing but there was a rubber seal, and I want to know what "should" come out of that? Should there be any raises of anything in the end of the eccentric shaft? if so how many and aproximate location? otherwise everything should come out of there?
Thanx!

 

its right in the end. Well about 1-2 inches if i recall correctly. And it is about 1/2 inch long. And its a ring with several little rollers in side it. You can see it...if you have it

 

There should be a rubber seal on the end, and then about a 3/4inch high round ring, chances are there's no teeth left to the bearing, and chances are it's worn so it looks like it's part of the eccentric shaft. The only way I will suggest on removing it is getting the right tool, which you can buy from http://www.mazdatrix.com or rent from local stores.

 

there are no barrings, however there were two rings with teeth that looked supe worn on it! but other than that the inside of the e-shaft should be smooth without any thing? so i can just remove everything that is inside?

 

Yeah, those two things you pulled out were probably the seal and the worn pilot bearing.

 

no it could not be the seal it is still there! how do i get that little focker out!

 

Oh. Hah, to get it out you need the pilot bearing puller, though other people have some strange methods of getting it out, if you search I'm sure you'll find something. But, I really suggest renting a pilot puller instead of risking the damage to the e-shaft.

 

REnt, damn Checkers or autozone or whatever will LOAN the damn thing to you! You dont pay a cent!

This country rocks!

 

I did search but i was hopping that someone might have done it better than i have read i don't really want to butcher my e-shaft so i will wait till monday and ask the mechanics at work and see if they have one! Thanks alot for your help guy's

That and the download of the free manual at http://www.iluvmyrx7.com and page C-69 of the ENGINE section.

 

i am not going to spend the money on that but some mechanics at the dealership that i work at might be able to lend me one! also the factory service manual i already have. Thank You for your help however!
