How to repalce Clutch Pilot Bearing on Subaru Legacy?

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 Legacy Pilot Bearing

The Pilot Bearing in a Subaru Legacy keeps the input shaft in alignment with the crankshaft, allowing smooth gear changes without wear. This Pilot Bearing is located at the crankshaft end or the center of the flywheel to support the shaft so it rotates with minimum friction. When the Pilot Bearing rotates smoothly, it prevents the loss of power as well as the generation of heat at the time of every shift. Two styles have been applied over the years, a true needle or ball Pilot Bearing and a sintered bronze bushing that accomplishes the same task. According to one version, they use tiny rollers or balls turning against smooth races so that you can help with higher speeds of the shaft and mixed radial and axial loads. The bushing version is an oil-impregnated bronze sleeve that the shaft glides on. It is very quiet and self-lubricating. The proper style of Pilot Bearing is important. A worn unit can cause whining noises, clutch chatter, and stubborn gear engagement. Every model of Subaru that has a manual gearbox, including every generation of Legacy, requires a clean, snug fit in the crank nose for the replacement Pilot Bearing. Scoring on the shaft should also be avoided to ensure that the Subaru drivetrain is responsive and to give every Legacy driver a firm sense of confidence when shifting gears.
