Bearing on Flywheel

Hi There,
Can someone please tell me if there is a bearing on the flywheel for a
D15B7 Civic Manual.
Full details of the car are below.
I have had a look at the Honda workshop manual and I cannont seem to
find a bearing.
The Haynes book does not also mention anything about a bearing.
Although Exedy (clutch manufacturer) says that there is a pilot
bearing so I am confused....
Regards,
Michael

Manufacturer: Honda Motor Co

Vehicle Grade: LX (EG8) (GLi in Australia)
Model Year: 1995
Engine Type: D15B7
Serial Number: S20

 

When you step on the clutch, you are lifting the pilot bearing off of
the clutch pressure plate. It is part of the transmission. It is a
good idea to replace the bearing as part of a clutch replacement. It's
very easy, having done it myself.

there is a pilot bearing and a throwout bearing... both should be
replaced when changing the clutch.

I really don't understand Dan@nospam's comment.

The clutch does push the bearing into the pressure plate assembly
actually, which lifts the clutch pressure plate away from the flywheel
clutch plate. I did get that backwards in my first post.

The bearing surrounds the transmission shaft and is part of the
transmission. At least that's the way it was on my '88 Accord.

Sorry for any confusion caused by my mental dyslexia.

Yes, the THROWOUT bearing is pushed by the clutch fork and it disengages
the clutch. The PILOT bearing rides in the center of the flywheel and
keeps the clutch centered and the transmission's shaft 'steady' (it's
sometimes called the _steady_ bearing) .

Hi All,
Thanks for the info.
I already have the throwout bearing so thats not a problem.
The pilot bearing was show under the CLUTCH-TORQUE CONVERTER section
that is why I could not find it. (thanks for the link motsco) I will
now need to go and get one.
Regards,
Michael.
