Not the pilot bearing but the pilot seal. Its pissing me off. I mean it wont go in and I dont want to hammer it. Is ther a trick?

 

used search and 31 comments with no instalation help.

 

Take a socket, slightly smaller then the hole... (i just did this) and bigger then the seal...Then bang in the end of the socket with a hammer ( lightly) dont worry, you wont harm the seal.

WHAAAAAT. I just did this 5 minz ago and totally fucked up the seal. So im giong to leave it out for awile.

Does anyone know how many miles I can go before the pilot goes out without the seal?

 

No, you don't want to do this. The grease on the pilot bearing (you did grease it right), can get onto the clutch disc, and that's it for the clutch disc.

Get a new seal

why so I can **** it up again?
Does anyone know how to get it in with a special tool?

 

Then just junk the damn car and stop wasting our time asking questions you don't want the answer to.

The only thing I'd add to what DC said is to put the seal on, use a large flat socket (bigger than the hole) to get the seal to seat in the shaft. Then switch to the smaller socket and drive it in.

Bye.

No its just that nothing has gone right with this job so far. But thnx. I will buy a new one and continue to drive my dads pimpin geo metro with gold rims and tint and get laufed at by everyone. U dont understand how long three days shipping is.

 

Ok Dude, I'm stuck driving a gawd damn Kia Sephia for the last 9 months because I don't have the cash to fix my Trans Am, after an incident at Sears Point. I'm spending every dime I have on the FC to get it ready for this track event on the 26th. Trust me, I know how you feel. But I also know that you'll be even MORE pissed when you get grease all over the clutch disc and have to do all this work over again, plus spend the cash for a new clutch (since the grease will ruin the disc)

Good luck.
