Just ordered my new clutch kit, pilot bearing, bearing retainer, rear main seal, rear upper and lower control arms and my electric fan setup from LMR.
I am going to be doing the all of this on my 4 day weekend, hopefully will only take a day. Anyone have any helpful advice to keep it going smooth?
I do have a few questions. My car is a '93, original motor and I believe I have a rear main leak. I have done some research and I am having mixed information. Some sites say to loosen the crank bearing caps and push the crank forward, remove and re install, then some sites say it can be removed with a screw, and slightly knock the new one back in place. I am thinking maybe the first advice is based on earlier 302's, but I could very well be wrong. Anyone able to answer this for me at all?
For the pilot bearing, many people have been raving about using bread, and how its much easier than using a puller and cleaner than using grease, any one done this as well?
Thanks for the help and future advice.
