So I've been fighting with this pilot bearing shell and getting it out of my crank for the better part of a week now. Starting to wish I had just pulled the bearing out of the new shell and just installed it into the shell in the crank.
I got the old shell to move out the tiniest bit with the slide hammer but have not made any progress with it since. I had noticed the old shell did not have a "lip" on it like the new one does. I got the new pilot bearing with shell and held it up with the new one and...yeah. These are not the same diameter. New bearing across the lip measures 1 7/16", old shell looks to measure 1 1/2" across the face. WTF is this? The inner bearing is the same on both...I'm not entirely sure what to do here. The inside of the old shell is all boogered up from me trying to pull it out.
