[Yellow4g63]

Thats crazy thats what happened to my S13. Hit in the same place but my window broke. Insurance gave me $1100 and I kept the shell and found a S14 for $900 lol I got really lucky.

[preston240sx]

Well been awhile since an update im at a stand still with getting the automatic pilot bearing out ...running outta idea's lemme know if you have any..... so anyway i got my harness back today from neotech and it looks great no complaints here also got my ima have to fab down pipe and one of my 2 cooling fans from summit things are coming along slowly but if i could get that bearing out i would be so much further ahead ... i hope to get it out this week end and maybe i can fire her up thx guys ..

Pack that pilot bearing full of grease. Then find a piece of steel about the same size as the hole. Pound the grease in the hole. keep adding more grease as the bearing comes out. Snap On makes a puller for pilot bearings. if it still wont move your guna have to put a cut in it and hit it once with a hammer. Shouldnt take but a hour at most to get that pilot out.

[bounty212]

dude get a torch and put some heat on the metal around the bearing, then get your punch and hammer the ***** out... mine took like 3 min. to get out that way after trying the bullshyt autozone puller for a half hour lol

[preston240sx]

so i could just kind chisel the bearing out ? should i try the slide hammer ? cuz i've been hearing alot of ppl say thats what they use ? lemme know thx

[Carl H]

wow, that harness looks strangely like how i package mine...

[preston240sx]

lol well i hope that means nick wired it right I got it done at my local shop in santee california cost me 250 only took them 2 days to do and then i picked up ready for installation

[Carryl]

the pilot bushing? on mine......i slpit it with a hammer and chizzel in side the crank and then it poped out easily.......if that didnt work.. was gonna drill it out ..

[preston240sx]

that almost sounds like the way i may go if i can't fnd any other way

[Acecool]

Also, do you have the two green relays hanging off of there?

[preston240sx]

Anyone know how far the pilot bearing is supposed to be seated ?any pics or an idea thx

I finally got the auto bearing out it only took 2 pilot bearing pullers that broke 4 drill bits slide hammer .. a hammer and a chizzle set pain in my ***!

[preston240sx]

alright well i was out in the garage so i took some pics thought i would give alittle update ...motors is in but transmission is not having problems with the flywheel or i got shipped the wrong clutch .. i dunno yet ..is it a rb flywheel?waiting to go in ......

[digzsublime]

You should seriously consider getting that flywheel resurfaced before you bolt up your clutch/transmission. Spend the 30 bucks or whatever to get it done now. Then, you won't have to cuss about pulling the transmission because you've got clutch chatter.

[DriftX]

That flywheel looks pretty glazed. I would advise taking it to a machine shop and having about .003 taken off it. that's how much it took to clean up my flywheel on my torino.
