thedoctor Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 Since ruining a pilot bearing earlier today, I am reluctant to pound on anything for awhile but.... my release bearing appears to be pressed on to my release bearing holder EA81 FWD. I will try pushing it off with a wheel puller but any advice? Has anyone had one stuck? Should I be able to tap the new one on? I do want to replace the thing since I have the engine out. (I am having some fun though. Replaced rear and front seals, clutch, will set valves, and do valve cover gaskets. Looking forward to no leaks and no clutch slipping! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedoctor Posted July 24, 2005 Author Share Posted July 24, 2005 OK, so not very interesting... I agree. I just wanted a little hand holding. Nothing wrong with that, right? Anyway, I can tell you it is OK to tap the release bearing holder out of the release bearing on an EA81 using the appropriate socket. Likewise it worked fine to tap the new release bearing back on. I am learning a lot from pulling this engine. Maybe I will be able to start answering some questions instead of only ever asking them.
