jrz Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 I'm in the process of stripping my 289 to my new block. Basically everything is off except for this piece in the middle after the flywheel comes off. I'm sorry I don't know the name of this piece. This is a round metal piece about 1.5"-2" that has grooves in the middle for the transmission shaft. This piece is the only piece missing on the new block. I thought of some kind of puller but, I can't imagine a place to even put it. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WizardBlack Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 Are you talking about the little ring pressed into the flywheel itself? The bushing for the very tip of the trans input shaft? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
74_5.0L_Z Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 See page 62 for pilot bushing removal. http://books.google.com/books?id=1TFNJyxjMucC&pg=PA62&lpg=PA62&dq=ford+pilot+bushing+removal+grease&source=web&ots=dX6DpicsjM&sig=mS0syVTO9WERQTTdWyQO7oQXH-c#PPA1,M1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrz Posted August 27, 2007 Author Share Posted August 27, 2007 Are you talking about the little ring pressed into the flywheel itself? The bushing for the very tip of the trans input shaft? I believe it's called the pilot bearing on the end of the crankshaft. And thanks 74_5.0L_Z for the diagram. I didn't notice the grooves/teeth for the transmission shaft in that middle picture. I will be calling around for a new one since it's fairly cheap. I hope it is all I need to order to avoid more disassembling of the old engine. Thanks for your help fellas.
