im changing the clutch in my 96 f 350 7.3 turbo. the machinist who resurfaced the flywheel removed the pilot bearing ( before i could note its orientation) and the new pilot bearing can only go in one way. my question is does the pilot bearing go in from the back of the flywheel (driven in the direction of the transmission) or does it go in from the front (driven in the direction of the motor)? any advice even related the 7.3 clutch change would be greatly appreciated!! thanks...

 

Flywheel/pilot bearing/ clutch/ pressure plate/ tranny. do not forget to alighn the clutch before you tourqe everything down. use blue or red locktite!
good luck.

ive found that the flywheel bolts are supposed to be torqued to 97 ft-lbs, but what about the pressure plate bolts?
