No on most of the water cooled flywheels. If you have the felt seal set
up, the bearing will not fit through.

Subject: Can pilotbearing be changed with flywheel in place?

Hi

Can I change the pilotbearing without removing the flywheel?

It didnt look like that for me, when I changed the clutch today - so
I didnt change the pilotbearing (it looked also OK to me).

But, if problems persist, I will change the pilot-bearing sunday -
just need to know if it can be done with flywheel in place.
