Cleaning and Inspection

BEARING INSPECTION
After engine bell housing bearing removal, inspect the bearing for wear. The bearing is designed for the life of the vehicle and requires no periodic maintenance. The following procedure can be used to inspect the condition of the bearing.

With the bearing removed, rotate the inner race of the bearing in the palm of your hand while pushing down slightly. Any roughness or resistance to rotation may indicate dirt intrusion or a failed bearing. If the bearing exhibits any of these symptoms, the bearing will require replacement. The bearing is not serviceable.
