My replacement pilot bearing is thicker than the surface in the flywheel it's made to be located on. I want the bearing to be in the right location to correctly support the end of the main drive gear. What would be the best position to use? 1) I can press it in place so it's centered on the surface it mounts on, and overhangs a small amount on both sides or 2) install it flush with the front face or rear face of the flywheel where it mounts, and overhanging on the opposite side. We're no talking a big difference in location, but I'd like to do it right.
Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks.
