hey not sure if im even posting right i just need a quick answer for tomorrow. i have an 03 g35 w/mt. i got a junkyard motor they said would work. it turned out to be out of an auto. my problem being the crank. i will need the pilot as there is lots of space for the input shaft to play witch is bad, but the pilot does not fit because the hub type deal on the end of the crank (its sticks out about an extra 1/4 inch compared to the 6 speed),. i can see the beveled part where the pilot would fit behind that "hub". can it be removed to put the pilot in. any help will be well appreciated. thanks

 

take a picture, did you remove the flexplate?

 

remove it , then install a MT clutch pilot bushing.

 

what would be the best way to remove it, i tried mapp gas and prybar and channel locks because i dont have a puller of any kind to get in there

 

I would spray it with some wd40 and let it sit there for an hour or so and then spray some more. then heat it up with the map gas, just be carefully not to burn yourself because wd40 is flammable

 

all right thanks dude ill give it a shot tomorrow and let you know how it works

 

no luck i even got a puller but the arms couldnt grab the tiny lip inside, i even tried filling it with grease and hammering in a tight fitting punch to try to push it out hydraulically and got nothin, any other suggestions from someone who has done it before possibly?

 

should come right out with a puller, ive done it a few times w no problem. Get the puller from AutoZone loner tools with the slide hammer.

 

yep you need a puller, I had to buy one when I done my dodge. yeah it sucked (about 150 but I will never buy one again). After that I have used it about 5 times once on my 350. The frustration and time it has saved has been worth the cost.
