Spigot Bearing Location
Got all my parts sorted for mating the type 9 to the zetec. Quick question before I do something I'm not going to be able to reverse.
I assume that the spiggot bearing goes in the centre of the Flywheel, its a tight fit obviously but just want to check before I start hitting it with
a big hammer.
Cheers
Ian

It goes into a recess in the end of the crank, accessed through the hole in the flywheel.
It is fairly tight.
Mine needed a gentle ish tap to go in.

Thanks, I take it the flywheel needs to come off as the hole in it is too small to get the bearing through comfortably, or am I missing something.

The bearing goes in the middle hole. with or without flywheel, doesn't matter, what does matter is without clutch. Maybe that's what you
meant?

to fit the spiggot bearing on my rover v8 crank I left it in a plastic food bag in the frezzer for 4 days so that It cooled down and contracted - It
then was a simple tap in and as it warmed up a very tight fit.

Tap it in, goes in no bother, but make sure its the right way round, most have a seal lip on the clutch side
Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion
retro car restoration and tuning
