Here's the question I have for anyone who knows for sure. Does the open side (with the ball bearings showing) go in facing out so they can be greased every time a clutch is changed? Or does it go in with the sealed side out? Saw in an old thread where someone said that the sealed side goes out but that doesn't make sense to me. I measured both sides and they are equal diameter. Other threads also said that the bearing is not press fit and will practically slide in with little effort (then will need to be staked to retain the bearing in place). But my crank is a replacement SCAT crank and the bore is not much larger than the bearing (if at all), and it will definitely need to be pressed on. Man, this has been an adventure. |

It's been 20 + years since I put one in my 78 TA. Pretty sure I put the sealed side out. My thought was to keep dirt outta the bearing.
2 cents.

Sealed side goes OUT, towards the transmission
And then you can put a little hi-temp grease in the crank recess behind the bearing. It will migrate into the bearing as needed.
That's what Pontiac did originally. Not sure if it is in the service manual or not. The properly-lubed bearing will last indefinitely. Good luck! |
