R154 trans install question

[Another MkIII]

I just did this, and this method works. It sounds dumb as hell, but it works. Take newspaper and tear it into 3 inch strips about 1/2" wide Find a bolt that just barely fits the hole in the bearing. My instructions were to wet the paper, I used PB Blaster. Now stuff the paper into the hole until it won't fit any more. Pack it down with your bolt and a hammer. I had to do that 9-10 times. Sooner or later, you will get it packed tight enough to smack the bolt with the hammer hard, and it will knock the bearing out from behind. Price = Free if yo have any paper around the house. You can also use toilet paper.

I said it is stuck on the input shaft of the trans, not in the crankshaft.

if its stuck on the input shaft, and you're replacing it, just use a hammer and make sure not to mark up the splines.

Don't bother trying to install the R154 the 'normal' way - do it as the TSRM says.

It'll save you a lot of sore muscle, thrown wrenches, and horrid words cast about.

I don't understand why someone would try to install it the "normal" way. I've R&I'd a W58 and an R154 on mine and to me the R154 is way easier. The clutch and pressure plate are already attached to the input shaft so all you have to do is stick the tip of the input shaft into the pilot bearing hole and bolt it up. A lot easier than having to line up the input shaft, especially when there's not enough room to get it up in there with the input shaft sticking out. PITA!

Yeah, because beating it with a hammer sounds like a real legit solution...

And sorry to sound pissy, but the arguement you two are having is like a dick comparing contest: Even if you win, its still pretty gay.
