Pilot bearing replacement

Got it. I wasn't too sure how much force was needed to get the bearing into the end of the crank and didn't want to mess up something in the motor by hammering on the end of it. However, it sounds like a couple gentle taps will get it in.

Thanks for the info.

Well in my case it was a bit tighter of a fit. I put some fresh grease around the outside of the bearing and put it into position. I used a 1" socket and tapped it in with a socet wrench. However it would not go all the way in, so I used a hammer to evenly tap it in. And it was not all light tapping either. But anyways its in, and it was not a pain at all.
