Was planning on having the plate balanced to the rest of the assembly and the Napa guy said it was not necacary. The one I just pulled was originally balanced, so what do I do? | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 | Go ahead and install the new assembly, as is.
If the mating surface on you flywheel looks cracked/scored/glazed, have it machined (they might also balance it).
Use the matching throwout/release bearing and a new pilot bushing.

Then get a piece of dowel, round stock, bolt , etc. just slightly smaller diameter than the i.d. of the pilot bearing & push it into bearing then cover with a rag. Now take a hammer & give the round stock a good solid whack & it's out.
