Pilot bearing problem.

Something is wrong here! The bearing should fit the flywheel and transmission.:doh: When I did mine the bearing pressed into the flywheel pretty tight. It took awhile to get it started, but went right in after aligning it. A shop press works much better.

if the bushing is just to big , it looks to be just slightly, I would just grind or sand the out side little by little all the way around and check the fit offen, you dont want to be loose, just really really snug.

Do you have the old bearing? Measure and compare the two.

Installing this bearing while laying under the jeep can be a real pain. Try freezing the bearing first. Hope this helps.

I'm having a problem getting a pilot bearing/bushing to fit in the back of the crank in my '90 4.0L. I've found a bearing and a bushing that are supposed to fit, but don't. The O.D. of the bearing/bushing is 1.054, but I can't get it in the crank; however, the I.D. of the bearing/bushing is correct for the transmission. I was able to find a beairng with a 1.000 O.D. that will fit the crank but the I.D. is too big for the transmission shaft. What gives?

Any help is appreicated.
