Pilot Bearing Inspection

Refer to CLUTCH UNIT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION to remove the clutch unit until the pilot bearing is in a condition whereby it can be inspected. (See CLUTCH UNIT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ).
Without removing the pilot bearing, turn the bearing while applying force in the axial direction.
- If there is any malfunction, replace the pilot bearing.
