Re: Pilot Bearing options
I was referring to the caged roller bearing (B-7118) used on all 1932-48 passngr & pickup light duty 3 speed trannies. The ball bearing (51A-7025) that holds the main drive gear is another piece in the puzzle.
If you take a BRAND NEW main drive gear, with a BRAND NEW ball bearing, and a BRAND NEW roller bearing, on a BRAND NEW main shaft, you can still wiggle the front pilot end of the main drive gear/input shaft with your fingers. The pilot bearing (sitting in the flywheel) is an important final component in the general alignment of the input shaft/main drive gear.
