  Q: How to Service a Pilot Bearing on Dodge Ram 3500?

  A:

  You should first eliminate the transmission, transfer case if it's installed and the clutch housing. Following that, remove the clutch cover and the disc. Pull the pilot bearing out with the proper tool for blind hole pullers. When installing, make sure to first clean and dry the bearing bore with a solvent and shop towel. Take care to line up the new bearing with a clutch alignment device, to ensure it is placed straight. Several times, tap the bearing until it is touching the edge of the bearing bore, making sure the bearing does not go lower than the surface inside the bearing bore. After that, place the clutch cover and disc, then the clutch housing, transmission and transfer case if available.

  Q: How to Maintain a Pilot Bearing in a Manual Transmission on Dodge Ram 3500?

  A:

  You should first remove the transmission, transfer case and clutch housing by consulting appropriate manual if the vehicle is a Manual Transmission/Transaxle. You should take out the clutch cover and the disc, as the next step. Take out the pilot bearing with a fitting blind hole puller. Before installing, clean the bearing bore with solvent and see that it is completely dry with a shop towel. When installing, keep the new bearing in line using a clutch alignment tool. Press the bearing into its place until it touches the edge of the bearing bore and not any deeper hole. At the end, fit the clutch cover and disc in place, followed by the clutch housing, transmission and the transfer case if you have one, sticking to the manual transmission procedures.
