"from what I can see of the pix it appears that the outter race of the bearing is still there. you will need to remove that if so. cutting it out or blind bearing puller . If not is it that the engine came from an automatic bus? they didn't have pilot bearings later mark d" That is what I was asking - is the race there? The engine did not (as far as I know) come from an automatic bus. The trans I removed is manual - however if there were not bearing there to begin with that would amaze me because I have owned this bus for 4 years now and put about 35k miles on it. My limited knowledge tells me that would be an incredible feat without that bearing :) I greatly appreciate the input. Thanks, Jeff '85 GL (Gertie) '78 Bus (Melissa) Patty's Bus |
