Stoffregen Motorsports Posted July 18, 2021 Report Share Posted July 18, 2021 People tend to install the bushings too deep, which makes them hard to pull, as there is no room behind them to grab the lip. I'd keep beating on it with a chisel. It will break apart eventually and come out in pieces. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted July 18, 2021 Report Share Posted July 18, 2021 Use a dull screwdriver. I slit lengthwise in at least 2 places, push that section into the middle and fish it out. Sometimes you can bend what's left or make a 3rd slice. 1 Quote Link to comment

Richie Posted July 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 So I know I put a nice dent in the bearing but I used a socket and soak the bearing in oil. Would you guys call it good? https://imgur.com/a/ocmb979 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 Do you have a clutch alignment tool? You'll need one to install the Pressure plate. See if it slips in easily. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

See if it slips in easily. It slips in pretty easy with a little force and when I pull it out it makes a pop noise like air is getting sucked into it. Also how heavy is the engine now?

It goes in but now I am thinking when I put the engine into the shaft it might take some muscle to slide it to fit. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 The transmission is difficult to slide in when everything is perfect. Lightly ream it. Making a V will allow the transmission to enter easier. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

This was the third time putting the engine in and now the transmission is out 😂. This Datsun has an attitude. Removing the transmission was a lot easier than I thought it’d be. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 What about mating the engine and transmission and putting it back in together. (to be honest I have never done it this way) 1 Quote Link to comment

Richie Posted July 29, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2021 Does anyone know the diameter clearance of the pilot bushing the the transmission shaft so it fits in fine? Also what size reamer I use? I see the one Mike put but I can’t make out the size. Thank you. Quote Link to comment

I'm sure someone know the needed clearance.... I'll check later if anyone responded... I can check when I get home.... 1 Quote Link to comment

Crashtd420 Posted July 29, 2021 Report Share Posted July 29, 2021 I found the dimension of the pilot bushing..... I know some people have had issues and had to ream after install .... My guess is you want to open it back up to the .629 size but not sure... I have a transmission sitting out in my garage, I'll measure the input shaft diameter when I get home ... couple sights said .002-.003 clearance but again nothing concrete just opinions.... 1 Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted July 29, 2021 Report Share Posted July 29, 2021 Pounding it in with a block of 2x4 over it shouldn't deform it so the input shaft won't fit. The sintered bronze powered is very soft. The input shaft is always a bit wobbly and will center on the hole. It's also blunt and bullet shape which helps. I wouldn't ream it if I had the choice I'd put a new one in. This bushing supports and centers the input shaft including the spinning clutch disc. Too much wobble from a little too much clearance could vibrate and wear it out even faster. Quote Link to comment

I’m just trying to get this damn transmission to fit I just measured the output shaft at .621-.622... so that's .007-.008 clearance if the bushing isnt deforming.... Do you have a 5/8 drill? That's. 625 DO NOT use it to drill out the bushing.... use the end you would put in a drill chuck as a gauge... if it fits so will your transmission..... If not choice is your to ream it or try installing a new one.... I think mainer311 ended up reaming his... maybe he chim in on what size he used..... my guess a 5/8 would get the job done but again I'm not sure the actual necessary clearance..... 1 Quote Link to comment
