Pilot Bearing?

huh...whats a Pilot bearing , and whats its use?

I just got back from a shop to find out what they would charge to install a King Cobra Clutch. He told me it would be like 300 for labor including resurfacing the stock flywheel. He also informed me that I will need to get a pilot bearing also.

Hmmmm couldnt he just use the Stock pilot bearing?

Thanks

I just answered my own question!

The pilot bearing does not require routine maintenance, but should be replaced when clutch replacement becomes necessary. In some cases, pilot bearings can wear excessively when transmission-mounting bolts loosen. When this happens, the transmission?s input shaft moves around excessively and puts abnormal strain on the pilot bearing. If you suspect a problem with the pilot bearing or clutch, have it looked at immediately by a qualified technician. Putting it off will only make the problem worse.

They're cheap, so you might as well just have it replaced since everything will already be torn down. I think they're about $10 at most dealerships. I don't remember exactly, since it's been 2 years since I replaced mine.
