Subject:      Pilot Bearing: easy to remove & install?
Content-Type: text/plain

I'm starting the pre-maintenance meditation and yoga necessary for any
enlightening vdub work.  In the tread regarding the clutch replacement (my
next endeavor...) people say "you just gotta replace the pilot bearing too,
you moron!" or something to that idea...  I look into the works of Zen
Bentley and see that the pilot bearing looks like fun to get out! Am I
missing something? Is this something that the garage mechanic can easily do?
Or am I looking at a case-splitting epic? Should I not worry about the
bearing, turn the music up and have another beer while shooting at road
signs?  Back in the days when I drove and worked on bugs, a clutch job was
easy,  am I looking at the same amount of labor or less?  How many beers
should this take me? Hopefully less than 4 because my workmanship starts to
slip off around 3 and a half.

Thanks
