If you're diving into a project that involves your classic ride, you might want to check out the Advanced Clutch Pilot Bearing PB0656A. This isn't just any replacement part; it's a solid bushing or bearing that fits right in the end of your crankshaft or at the center of the flywheel, depending on what you’re working with. Its main job? Supporting the end of the transmission input shaft, which is crucial for smooth gear shifts and overall drivetrain performance.
Need to install it? You can find the installation instructions right here. It’s pretty straightforward, but having a guide can make it a lot easier, especially if you're not a pro mechanic.
What makes this bearing stand out? For starters, it’s made with precision in mind, matching or even exceeding OE standards. So, you know you're getting something that’s built to last. The material is steel, which gives it that durability you need for the long haul.
Here’s a quick rundown of the specs: it’s got a round shape with an inside diameter of 0.59 inches (or 15 mm) and a width of 0.718 inches (18.24 mm). The outside diameter measures 1.09 inches (27.7 mm). It’s a needle bearing, sealed to keep out dirt and grime, and weighs in at just 0.2 pounds—light enough to not add any unnecessary bulk to your setup.
Now, if you’re wondering if this will fit your vehicle, it’s compatible with a whole host of classics. We’re talking Buicks from the '60s and '70s, various Chevys (including the iconic Camaro and Corvette), GMC trucks, and even some Pontiacs. Whether you’re restoring a Buick Century from '79 or a Pontiac Firebird from '67, this bearing is a great choice.
So, if you're looking to keep your classic running smoothly, the PB0656A is definitely worth considering. It’s reliable, fits a range of models, and helps ensure that your ride stays in top shape.
