(I attempted to create this to scale, so presuming you have a program that will not rescale when printed, it should give you a rough template)

I referenced part number 005-981-51-25, and found that it might be the bearing we are looking for... We will only know if you are able to reference it's mesurements physically...

That bearing is listed as center support bearing ..I doubt it will fit as a pilot bearing

Yea, that definantly won't work lol

This might be a really crazy idea, but about 25 years ago, I rebuilt a 4 cylinder engine from a british car. I had the crank journals done, and when I got the crank back, the pilot bushing was gone. (I was about 17 years old at the time and had no idea what I was doing.....) Anyway, to make a long story short, I ended up getting a machine shop to turn a bushing from a piece of oil impregnated brass. Believe it or not, I put everything back together and it worked for years. My guess is that this isn't done anymore but......

The bearing you are looking for is a 6202 double sealed. It's a common bearing that should be on the shelf of any bearing supply house.

i ordered it, it will be in in the morning, i will check the dimentions. mercedes epc shows an eniterly different bearing for center support, likely the supplier arthur referenced is in error. they may have their mercedes numbers crossed lol. i get the same picture from my supplier, the center support bearing has a much larger inner section.

That may just be , b/c here is another supplier that does list it as a pilot bearing.. plug that part# in here and it comes up as pilot...

Or...take your pick..

Check out the different 6202 series and pick the one that you like for your app. .....as CH has pointed out..should be able to get that at any local bearing wholesale place...

outer is 47.9mm inner is 14.9mm and it looks exactly like the picture below

OD is too large, I dont think it would fit in the crank...

it looks like it can be machined down to fit if need be, there is enough steel ther that it should be fine

C,
How did you get from 356 to 357 ..:) ????
