Title: Flywheel pilot bearing Post by: mangocrazy on October 26, 2020, 04:29:43 PM I've been viewing various Youtube videos that deal with clutch replacement, and most (if not all) refer to a pilot bearing that fits inside the flywheel centre. As far as I can make out this isn't a Thing with Betas, is it? I can certainly find no reference to a pilot bearing anywher on this forum. Can anyone enlighten me?

This applies to RWD Fiat TCs not Beta engines. If you are re-using a Fiat 132 crank then normally you remove the bearing with a slide hammer. You use the hole in the end of the crank where a bearing would be to locate a clutch plate centering tool when fitting the clutch.

I was watching a clutch replacement video for a RWD car, so that is clearly why. Title: Re: Flywheel pilot bearing Post by: WestonE on October 27, 2020, 08:25:34 AM Hi Stuart
No Bearing on an original Monte Crank. Eric |
