[urq] Part # for the UR pilot bearing?

[Justin]

Yeah, that's the weird thing, the inner diameter fits perfectly on the
tranny shaft, but the outer dia. is too big for the crank...at least it
looks that way.  I've heard they just tap in with a malet and dowel...the
one I've got, there is just no way.
Anyway, I've got another one coming on Mon, so I'll try my luck with that
before anything drastic.

... this is just relating to the US spec models ... WX engine ... and in
a way it isn't even directly related, but I think I dealt with the same
part number issue on my 4kQ when I did the clutch.  Didi found 2 part
numbers, so I asked her to order both.  One of them was pretty much a
standard roller bearing, and the other one was real cool ... the bearing
had a back shell to seal the end that faced the crank and a plastic seal
for the pilot shaft ... very cool, so I decided to use it.  When I was
trying to put the tranny back on I couldn't get it all the way home ...
tried all sorts of things to make it go.  Eventually I just pulled the
tranny off and realized that the pilot shaft for the tranny was a larger
diameter than the inner diameter of the bearing!  By this time my
attempts to mate the tranny onto the block had forced the pilot bearing
even better into place ... I had a bear of a time getting that pilot
bearing back out ... took a Dremel tool in the end!

Moral of story, test the pilot bearing on the tranny before installing
it into the crankshaft ... and it will very likely be a very simple
looking bearing ... sorry I don't have the P/N.
