270 bellhousing bearing...

[krisnowicki]

How do I get the bearing out of the bellhousing to replace? Engine and housing are seperate and bellhousing is on the bench.

From the outdrive side of the bellhousing, remove the seal and the 2 large snap rings in the housing. Then press the shaft out from the engine side out the drive side. Dead blow hammer works fine.
Then there is a small snap ring on the shaft holding the bearing onto the shaft, and press (with a press) the old bearing off the shaft and press a new one on AFTER packing the bearing with new grease.

on my aq125 there is a bearing in the flywheel. The 13 does not have this bearing or a place for it in the flywheel. The rear seals look different. Will the same shaft work? It bolted up fine and turns with the engine well

What's a 13?

I am sorry the 131d I have stripped the 125 to dress the 131

See if the 131 has a thick walled brass bushing instead of a bearing. It does the same thing, just holds the shaft from the bellhousing centered. Nothing spins inside the ball bearing. But there has to be something the same size as the end of the bellhousing shaft in the end of the crankshaft. It could just be missing.

Re: 270 bellhousing bearing...

Block of wood and a hammer worked fine for me. Block of wood is for the end of the shaft, not the bearing. Tap with as much as force as necessary on each side of the inner bearing race to get it to slide down and seat.
