  4. Inspect the transmission input shaft pilot bearing for:
    • misalignment and looseness in the flywheel.
    • needle rollers for scoring, worn or broken needle rollers, inadequate grease or discoloration.
    • seal leakage.
      NOTE:
      • The transmission input shaft pilot bearing can only be installed with the seal facing the transmission. The transmission input shaft pilot bearing is lubricated and does not require additional lubrication. A new transmission input shaft pilot bearing must be installed whenever it is removed.
  5. Using a soft-face hammer and the SSTs  or equivalent install the new transmission input shaft pilot bearing into the crankshaft.
