pilot bearing question, please help...

[gotboost$]

So I installed my fidenza flywheel last night, and I went to put the pilot berring in that came with the clutch kit. I used a larger socket and a dead weight hammer.

I got it about a 1/4" in and i could tell the berring was being crushed. :rant:

What size socket should i use to put it in?
Is there a better meathod?

Maybe the bearing is too big.

Mine went in just fine.

what clutch kit did you get? I did a replacement clutch for this guy's MKIII and the bearing that came with his kit was the wrong size. Had to get another one from toyota.

I'm getting another one from toyota tonight. I dunno dude, the fidenza flywheel didn't just slip right on either i had to tighten the nuts in a star pattern till it was flush...

should i be worried?

yeah, when i did my swap, the first pilot bearing wouldnt go in, so i used dremel and cut it out, then i got another one from the same store and this time, it was the right one, went in pretty easy and still works great
