Well here are the pics I managed to take on saturday before parts started getting thrown. Plans / parts are Tremec 26 spline input shaft, Lethal performance hardened throwout bearing retainer sleeve, FRPP pilot, FRPP throwout, Spec Stage 3+ clutch with lightweight pedal option, MGW shifter, FORE microclick firewall adjuster, Steeda quick release quadrant, and LDC freeplay mod. I could’ve had it done saturday had the flywheel not stripped on me. Had the trans out in half hour, this thing is cake to work on. Started at noon, this was taken around 12:30 i believe. ![http://lh3.ggpht.com/_7gP8To3oCCU/S9RxEICWy1I/AAAAAAAACoI/vvYRmXA5IIQ/s800/DSC02448.JPG](http://lh3.ggpht.com/_7gP8To3oCCU/S9RxEICWy1I/AAAAAAAACoI/vvYRmXA5IIQ/s800/DSC02448.JPG) I had to pull this thing out in order to start… I dunno what it was doing camping out at my house??? ![http://lh5.ggpht.com/_7gP8To3oCCU/S9RxFHAcfNI/AAAAAAAACoM/mFdQoW3MA_o/s800/DSC02449.JPG](http://lh5.ggpht.com/_7gP8To3oCCU/S9RxFHAcfNI/AAAAAAAACoM/mFdQoW3MA_o/s800/DSC02449.JPG) Dumpy. ![http://lh6.ggpht.com/_7gP8To3oCCU/S9RxF_82_0I/AAAAAAAACoQ/3fAJSDHA2xA/s800/DSC02450.JPG](http://lh6.ggpht.com/_7gP8To3oCCU/S9RxF_82_0I/AAAAAAAACoQ/3fAJSDHA2xA/s800/DSC02450.JPG) throwout bearing felt like shit once i took it out ![http://lh5.ggpht.com/_7gP8To3oCCU/S9RxHC1cNDI/AAAAAAAACoY/IiJ6gEBf-bg/s800/DSC02452.JPG](http://lh5.ggpht.com/_7gP8To3oCCU/S9RxHC1cNDI/AAAAAAAACoY/IiJ6gEBf-bg/s800/DSC02452.JPG) naaaah, didn’t slip or get hot at all. ![http://lh4.ggpht.com/_7gP8To3oCCU/S9RxH0Ko3FI/AAAAAAAACoc/37r8ujA8KoU/s800/DSC02453.JPG](http://lh4.ggpht.com/_7gP8To3oCCU/S9RxH0Ko3FI/AAAAAAAACoc/37r8ujA8KoU/s800/DSC02453.JPG) ![http://lh3.ggpht.com/_7gP8To3oCCU/S9RxIlXw7GI/AAAAAAAACog/heW6q4nl7Uc/s800/DSC02454.JPG](http://lh3.ggpht.com/_7gP8To3oCCU/S9RxIlXw7GI/AAAAAAAACog/heW6q4nl7Uc/s800/DSC02454.JPG) ![http://lh4.ggpht.com/_7gP8To3oCCU/S9RxJUwm_TI/AAAAAAAACok/luwUtJJG2fQ/s800/DSC02455.JPG](http://lh4.ggpht.com/_7gP8To3oCCU/S9RxJUwm_TI/AAAAAAAACok/luwUtJJG2fQ/s800/DSC02455.JPG) ![http://lh5.ggpht.com/_7gP8To3oCCU/S9RxKNYgj5I/AAAAAAAACoo/RLkUJ232xZU/s800/DSC02456.JPG](http://lh5.ggpht.com/_7gP8To3oCCU/S9RxKNYgj5I/AAAAAAAACoo/RLkUJ232xZU/s800/DSC02456.JPG) ![http://lh5.ggpht.com/_7gP8To3oCCU/S9RxK5IVDiI/AAAAAAAACos/CDpme7hMKPI/s800/DSC02457.JPG](http://lh5.ggpht.com/_7gP8To3oCCU/S9RxK5IVDiI/AAAAAAAACos/CDpme7hMKPI/s800/DSC02457.JPG) ![http://lh6.ggpht.com/_7gP8To3oCCU/S9RxLd6cqbI/AAAAAAAACo8/qpe3HlybCHg/s800/DSC02458.JPG](http://lh6.ggpht.com/_7gP8To3oCCU/S9RxLd6cqbI/AAAAAAAACo8/qpe3HlybCHg/s800/DSC02458.JPG) What is actually inside a manual trans anyway??? ![http://lh4.ggpht.com/_7gP8To3oCCU/S9RxMeRyU-I/AAAAAAAACpE/hMk1tSPlxHg/s800/DSC02459.JPG](http://lh4.ggpht.com/_7gP8To3oCCU/S9RxMeRyU-I/AAAAAAAACpE/hMk1tSPlxHg/s800/DSC02459.JPG) ![http://lh4.ggpht.com/_7gP8To3oCCU/S9RxM4vYttI/AAAAAAAACpQ/tas8g-0xGuk/s800/DSC02460.JPG](http://lh4.ggpht.com/_7gP8To3oCCU/S9RxM4vYttI/AAAAAAAACpQ/tas8g-0xGuk/s800/DSC02460.JPG) Old input… makes a great tool to remove pilot bearing… more on that later. ![http://lh5.ggpht.com/_7gP8To3oCCU/S9RxNhI-2YI/AAAAAAAACpU/GTwGSbkANlI/s800/DSC02461.JPG](http://lh5.ggpht.com/_7gP8To3oCCU/S9RxNhI-2YI/AAAAAAAACpU/GTwGSbkANlI/s800/DSC02461.JPG) New input, with fresh bearings and races. ![http://lh6.ggpht.com/_7gP8To3oCCU/S9RxOaJ4cmI/AAAAAAAACpY/velzVm7GxoE/s800/DSC02462.JPG](http://lh6.ggpht.com/_7gP8To3oCCU/S9RxOaJ4cmI/AAAAAAAACpY/velzVm7GxoE/s800/DSC02462.JPG) New throwout retainer and race installed in front cover, cover cleaned. ![http://lh6.ggpht.com/_7gP8To3oCCU/S9RxPeMIXeI/AAAAAAAACpc/rROfKMs4zMM/s800/DSC02463.JPG](http://lh6.ggpht.com/_7gP8To3oCCU/S9RxPeMIXeI/AAAAAAAACpc/rROfKMs4zMM/s800/DSC02463.JPG) ![http://lh6.ggpht.com/_7gP8To3oCCU/S9RxQPcVt6I/AAAAAAAACpg/P5ZiIfK05PA/s800/DSC02464.JPG](http://lh6.ggpht.com/_7gP8To3oCCU/S9RxQPcVt6I/AAAAAAAACpg/P5ZiIfK05PA/s800/DSC02464.JPG) Wet bread + old input shaft = pilot bearing press. ![http://lh6.ggpht.com/_7gP8To3oCCU/S9RxQxbKQTI/AAAAAAAACpk/EJa-j9ibRhs/s800/DSC02465.JPG](http://lh6.ggpht.com/_7gP8To3oCCU/S9RxQxbKQTI/AAAAAAAACpk/EJa-j9ibRhs/s800/DSC02465.JPG) Pic of new flywheel minus threads. ![http://lh3.ggpht.com/_7gP8To3oCCU/S9RxRhI4GBI/AAAAAAAACpo/x7D2IF9mT68/s800/DSC02467.JPG](http://lh3.ggpht.com/_7gP8To3oCCU/S9RxRhI4GBI/AAAAAAAACpo/x7D2IF9mT68/s800/DSC02467.JPG) ![http://lh5.ggpht.com/_7gP8To3oCCU/S9RxSUzP1cI/AAAAAAAACps/6m1lveXPykw/s800/DSC02468.JPG](http://lh5.ggpht.com/_7gP8To3oCCU/S9RxSUzP1cI/AAAAAAAACps/6m1lveXPykw/s800/DSC02468.JPG) Soooo I’m waiting to call Lethal tomorrow morning. i’m either getting an exchange assembly, or upgrading to a MCLEOD twin.

acts like a press. I don’t have a pilot bearing removal tool, so you pack the inside / back side of the bearing with wet bread, the use something the same size diameter as the inside of the pilot (ie, junk old input shaft) to push on the bread. The bread will only compress so much before it starts putting outward pressure on the bearing. Out comes the pilot. ---

you can also use like wheel bearing grease or something, but fuck wasting that shit, the bread is MUCH easier to clean out when finished too. Besides, errrrebody got bread laying round. ---

Yea, my old man taught me this trick, While I dident have an old input shaft, a small socket and extension worked nicely, although I did use grease… I will have to use bread next time… How the fuck you come up with that?
