240D pilot bearing question
Hello,
I'm putting a used crank into a 240D engine and the donor car was an automatic and the engine is going into a standard, thus the crank needs a pilot bearing. I ordered and installed the bearing but the old crank also has some type of metal ring in front of the pilot bearing. I can't seem to remove it from the old crank. Any tips, or does anyone have a part number for this metal ring? Thanks for the help! |

it may
have a snap ring. i would have said it didnt but am not sure. some also have a kindof dust cover. if it is a dust cover it can be pried out. if it is a snap ring it must be pulled with a snap ring plier.

Doesn't seem to have a snap ring. The Haynes calls it a "lock Ring". Seems that it's a press fit into the end of the crank. I assume it's there to keep the pilot bearing in place?

I think your talking about a cupped shaped "keeper" with a hole in it, That "gizmo " keeps the bearing in place. It just pulls out. If you bugger it up they are cheap. You reinstall it after you install the new bearing.

The easy way to remove a pilot bearing is to first find a deep socket that fits into the bore of the pilot bearing. Not a press fit , but the outer diameter of the socket should be close to the inner dimension of the pilot bearing. Now mount the socket backwards on a 3/8 extension. Pack the pilot bearing full of grease. Place the socket at the mouth of the bearing and give a quick sharp blow with a hammer, driving the socket into the bearing. The pressure drives the bearing from the crank. Works everytime. Good Luck

If the lock ring is no good use some red loctite on the outside.
