@#|$*£ pilot bearing, was 3B conversion in an '85 coupe quattro

[Mihnea Cotet]

Latest update on the conversion:

I've removed the pilot bearing's inner race and struggled for more than one
hour with the outer race... I didn't try the hydraulic lock technique as I
couldn't find a shaft that has the right size so I dremelled the inner race
and then the outer race... the problem is that even dremelled it won't come
out and I've already scratched the crank... is it a BIG problem if there
are some dremel marks on the crank (where the bearing's outer race sits
actually)? I tried chiselling it out with a screwdriver and it didn't work
either... tomorrow I'll go and borrow a bearing puller and see if it comes
out or not...

Does someone have an idea?

Thanks,


Mihnea, still 20vt-less, only until tomorrow I hope!
