4 banger T5 pilot bearing

RE: 4 banger T5 pilot bearing
THe broze bushing will be just fine. I had a bushing machined, I just greased it with some moly paste, doesnt make any noise or whatever. Aside from that the broze is a soft metal so if anything were to go wrong only the bushing would get worn out. IT cost me $20 bux to have it made.

WHat I did was I bought 2 new bearings. 1 for the 5.0L and one for the 2.3L (all the years are the same as far as bearing specs go). When I went to the machine shop I told the guy to make the inside race, the diameter of the 2.3L. THe outside of the bushing and the thickness I had made to the 5.0L spec. Tapped it in with a bronze hammer, and packed it full of that moly lube paste. Its as easy as that. THen everything else bolted right up.

thats a waste of time and money. go to the parts store and get a ranger throwout bearing. do a search for "ranger throwout bearing." they should have it in stock and it costs like 3 bucks

I recommend measuring the trans and the crank hole.
Take the measurements to NAPA and they can look up the right pilot bearing for you.
I may be able to find a part number for you when I get home though, I know I have seen it posted before. Maybe on the Corral?
There is no need to fab a part for this...
