What are the inspection and installation guidelines for the pilot bearing on Ford Mustang?

The pilot bearing is a sealed component that should not be cleaned with fluids. Inspect for scoring, worn rollers, cracks, grease issues, seal leakage, misalignment, and looseness. During installation, drive flywheel dowels squarely into place with a brass or plastic mallet to avoid damaging surrounding surfaces.

How to remove and install a pilot bearing while inspecting for potential issues on Ford Ranger?

Removing the pilot bearing is done with Pilot Bearing Remover and checking of misalignment, looseness and needle rollers. To install, make sure that the seal is against the transmission; no additional lubrication is required on the pregreased bearing. The Pilot Bearing Installer and soft-face hammer should always be used in installing a new pilot bearing.
