Pilot Bearing |
|
|
The pilot bearing is the little bearing located in the tail end of the
crankshaft. The tip of the tranny input shaft sits in it. Yes, you'll have
to pull the tranny (again, if you forgot this when changing the clutch)
to get the bearing out. The official tool for removing the bearing is a small
internal puller (ie. the type that grips inside the bearing). These are standard bearings, if you quote 6202 to your local bearing emporium they'll know what you want. Shouldn't be much over $10, probably less. This bearing was used from the B18 to the last B230. Preaching to the choir: I don't know why they're so often overlooked. As previously stated my local parts place initially forgot to order one when I order a complete kit (even though I said I wanted it) and didn't have it in stock. I've heard quite a few people say about such squeal that it's "typical of old volvo's, most do that". Those particular people should know better. To me such squeals are an indication that something's amiss and needs to be rectified on anything but a junker. And lets face it, why do a 5 hour plus $125 in parts job unsatisfyingly for want of an $8 bearing? |
