Quick question - Spiggot Bearing.

[I Am Milk]

Knowledgeable people, just to bore you with yet another question.

Whilst I've got my engine out, I'm going to change the clutch and Spiggot bearing (bits should be here tomorrow, then it can go back in the car!) - my question being is there a way to get the Spiggot Bearing out of the fly wheel with out removing it?

Or is it a case of removing the fly wheel, and pushing it out?


Any help/tips would be nice

Regards,

Milk

spiggot bearing is normally in the crank a small slide hammer is a way of removing it

On my '91 1.6, I had to take off the flywheel and drift the spigot bearing out from the centre of the flywheel on the bench - the new one then just tapped gently into place (using the old bearing to ensure it was lined up square).

Not too big a job once the box is out - I would say an extra 10-20 minutes max...

That's what I ended up doing Browno!

Unfortunately, after I put it in, I noticed I'd fked it up so had to order a new one, which I'm still waiting for.

Another 2 days worth of delay before I can get my engine back in my car.

Sorry to hear it didn't quite go according to plan - hope you're back on the road soon!

Cheers!

Just my luck, as soon as we get nice weather again, my car is off the road.

Sods law eh?

Pack the centre with grease.

Get a suitable sized drift and hit it in the middle.

The grease pushes the spigot out.
