thanks, i'll check that out.....those type use the slide hammer i think....i read that turning a can of compressed air for cleaning keyboards can help....you have to turn it upside down and spray the bearing with the Co2.....appearently it freezes, constricts, and is alot easier to pull out....i'm gonna try it and post results.....is replacing the rear main seal complicated?

wish i had a camera so i could post pics....85,000 miles and i don't think the pilot has ever been changed.....is it ok if i don't change the rear main seal?.......there was a little bit of oil on the old flywheel bolts when i took them out, but i think the guy that had the car before me used locktite when he did the clutch.... no oil was on the back of the motor....none caked on the inside of the bellhousing either....i might just leave it
