How to repalce Clutch Pilot Bearing on Subaru Forester?

The clutch pilot bearing is a needle roller type bearing which is pressed into the rear of the crankshaft and does not require additional lubrication. It should be inspected whenever the clutch components are removed from the engine and replaced if any excessive wear, scoring, dryness, roughness or any other obvious damage is noted. Removal can be accomplished with a special puller or a slide hammer with an internal puller attachment. To install the new bearing, lightly lubricate the outside surface with grease and drive it into the recess with a soft-face hammer or a bearing driver or a socket that is slightly smaller than the outside diameter of the bearing. Some bearings have an 0-ring seal, which must face out. After installation, tighten all fasteners to the recommended torque values.

Subaru Forester Pilot Bearing

The Pilot Bearing stabilizes the shaft and helps align the transmission input shaft of a Subaru Forester to the engine. The Pilot Bearing, located cozy at the center of the crankshaft or flywheel, helps to limit friction by allowing the shaft to roll on polished races rather than scraping metal on metal, which otherwise generates heat and damages the gear. Over the years, Forester manuals applied two styles. Early models relied on a bronze pilot bushing. This is a plain bearing that supports the shaft on an oil film. Later Subaru cars went for a true Pilot Bearing. This is built with balls or tiny rollers that handle both radial and axial loads at higher speeds. The bushing is a straightforward self-lubricating configuration, but under heavy clutch use, it can wear out more quickly. On the other hand, the ball/roller Pilot Bearing spreads out the load, operates more quietly, and also keeps a tighter alignment. This gives a better shifting quality. No matter the style you choose, replacing a worn Pilot Bearing in a timely manner will prevent chatter, vibration, and hard gear engagement while keeping any Subaru Forester driving comfortably.
