so my buddy has a 90 toyota truck 4cylinder and he just replace the clutch but he doesnt recall seeing a pilot bearing in the crank or on the output.  and he is saying there was none in the first place. is this even possible to run it without a bearing? he put the new clutch in and didnt install a pilot bearing when he did it so i think somthing bad is going to happen. what about you guys

[toyotanner]

its gonna go boom! i give it less than 50 miles

He'll be fine if he didn't take out the old one.  I would pull it and do it right.

If there is no pilot at all, the input will not be happy. He'll start loosing bearings and even hard parts eventually.

tell him to get a 5 gallon bucket to carry with him to pickup the parts with

[Halladay]

haha no i will tell him to do it right and pull the tranny back out. only bad part is he dont have a tranny jack. so its hard as hell haha

[79coyotefrg]

pull the tcase off separate,  if he's fairly strong he can take it out but use a strap to stay safe

run the strap thru the cab and under the frame,

Ive done it my self everytime.  sometimes separating the tcase and sometimes not.

A strap definately helps.

[toyotanner]

i take the cases off seperate and as long as you drain the oil its not that heavy

[junya92toy]

Weld it

[potter85]

without a bearing hahaha oh man.

hmmm i guess these are extra parts.... oh well hahahaha

[Halladay]

i like the strap idea!

[86bobbedtoy]

yep I can stab one all by myself with a strap a jack and muscle.
the strap idea is awesome, I used chains when I was on the trail.
