mrbobs48 Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 I bought a new pilot bearing from Andy pulled the old one out of my 48 Plymouth. New bearing is bigger than the old one on the outside OD. What the heck is going on, Andy list all pilot bearings same size??? The old bearing is not in bad shape. Help.

Dan Hiebert Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 These cars do use different size pilot bushings. I had the same issue when I rebuilt the clutch on our D24 20 or so years ago. Ordered the bushing from AB, it was wrong size, same as yours, inside diameter correct, outside too big. Went to Pep Boys, they specifically asked if it was the bigger or smaller one because their book showed two OD sizes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brian b Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 If Andy and AB is Andy Bernbaum, I would call them first. I've dealt with them numerous times, and if the wrong part was sent, they will make good on it. Explain what you reported here, give them a chance to look into it. Good folks to deal with , as is Roberts. Lots of parts on my 39 from both companies. brian b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbobs48 Posted March 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 I called Andy today that's the only one they sell, he said mine must be modified. I went to City Brake and Clutch here in OKC where I had my flywheel, clutch and pressure plate redone. City brake had one that was a perfect match, $2.00. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dartgame Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 This bearing is the same one used by chrysler into the muscle car era and beyond. If it had a manual and v8 it probably had the same pilot. Later they adapted a roller bearing retrofit for the older cars which was actually oe on newer vehicles.

Don Coatney Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 When I did my T-5 conversion I fabricated a ball bearing mount and eliminated the oilite bushing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpollo Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 Any Chrysler parts agency should stock this bushing. It fits a 360 among other engines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
