Hi .. just a couple of questions about the this bearing ...

First, ... best way to remove it ???

Second, ... how to install it and place it correct ??

lacey

Plastcine ( spelt so wrong I think ) and a shaft to fit the bearing , pack the bearing with plastcine then drive the shaft in it with a hammer . It will start to pop out.
New bearing just drive it in as you would a normal bearing

This is the best method

done it plenty of times works a treat

use a suitable size socket as a drift

Not really you have a small taper in the end of crank just below that is fine

Heres one I done earlier !

This method works on a Pinto, Cosworth YB and also the Kent X-Flow

You will need :-

An old input shaft

Hammer

Grease

New spigot bearing





Pack old bearing with grease



Insert the input shaft and hit it hard with hammer





Clean off grease and you will notice bearing has moved - if not repack grease and hit harder



Repack grease



Insert input shaft and hit again



Almost out



Repack with grease and input shaft then hit again and its out







Slide new bearing onto the input shaft with small internal seal near the splines



Use the input shaft as a drift to fit new bearing



Job done !

Thanks - I have been working on Pinto's for years and this method works "almost" everytime.

Where the bearing has completely worn or collapsed then simply use a metal bar as near to the bearings worn inner diameter instead of an input shaft.
