I am still working on my 1993 K1500 clutch replacement which has turned into a much bigger job than I had originally planned
to do. Now I need to replace the clutch fork pivot bearing which seems to be pressed into the bellhousing. The ball is all gnarly from
wear and I can't see putting the trans back in without addressing the pivot bearing.
How do I get the old pivot bearing out and replace it with a new one? Do I need a special puller or does it unscrew somehow?
What a pita this job has become with sheared off exhaust studs and the need to buy new exhaust manifolds and to replace the
crossover pipe which I had to saw out. While I am at it I am replacing the trans and motor mounts and all four universal joints.
And the transfer case output seal. And the spark plugs and new oil and filter etc. etc. The parts list seems never ending and I was
foolish enough to think this would be a piece of cake to do.
And now the frigging pivot ball. Beam me up Scotty, I have had enough fun for today!
