I am doing my first-ever clutch replacement on my 86 Vanagon. First for
me, not for the van. I have run into a bit of a roadblock on the pilot
bearing. Does the flywheel have to come off to pull it? I have rented a
pilot bearing puller, but it doesn't seem to want to grab the lip of the
bearing. It could be that it is too large, although it slips through the
bearing fine. Any suggestions would be very helpful. Thanks. David
