Great job! Glad to see you got the welder, I will be doing the same soon. Slowly preparing to start working on the body of my 924. And those front suspension parts looking really great!
Thanks! I am exited about the welding, I have bought a bag of scrap metal, so I will be practicing quite a bit the coming weeks 😎. I am looking forward to your body restoration videos!
The first step is to spray the pilot bearing with penetrating fluid to break down any corrosion between the bearing and the flywheel. It's important to note that the pilot bearing has a threaded section. Find a bolt that fits into these threads; I used one of the belhousing bolts. Once you have the correct bolt, find a pipe or socket that the bolt can pass through. Ensure that the head of the bolt is held back by the socket or pipe, and add a washer if needed. Now, all you have to do is tighten the bolt, and the pilot bearing should slowly pull out of the flywheel. If the bolt bottoms out, add more washer/spacers. I hop this help.
Where can I buy a new pilot bearing? I'm working on a 924 and it's kind of a parts bin I'm missing alot of parts and I'm basically putting back together a car without a manual or knowledge of what goes where. I'm learning from TH-cam
You can order one from your local Porsche dealer or have a look here www.rosepassion.com/en/diagrams-porsche-924-1978-eu-924-2-0-coupe-manual-gearbox-4-speed/clutch-and-engine-flywheel-2315/crankshaft-connecting-rod-4529/047105169a-p71416-sleeve-71416

Good work, and great tip for the removal of the pilot bearing. I’ll be copying that when I remove mine.
Thanks Chris, and yes, the socket and bolt method works a treat 😊
It’s on my list to learn how to weld so that will be another tool in my arsenal when I start restoring my 944.
We will learn together😃 It's only got two knobs...how difficult can it be 🙈
Hey, where did you get your new flywheel bolts. I can't find anywhere that sells them :(
Always enjoying your video's . Just let me know if you need help with the welder!
Thank you Willem, that is great to hear! I will take you up on your offer 🙂
Hey, I didn't really understand how to remove the pilot bearing. How did you do it and with what tool?

Would love to watch you're channel, but that music is just unbearable!
Not much I can do about that now 😅 I hope it helps even though it’s torture.
