New flywheel pivot bearing loose. - F22

[Dxs]

Hi all,

I am replacing my clutch and flywheel in an accord with an F22.

I tapped out the flywheel bearing of the OLD flywheel that which is made in USA.

When I put the bearing in the NEW made in china flywheel it is very loose. It just falls in with no resistance at all and a slight gap as pictured - so it can spin freely. The clutch tool I have fits snug on the bearing - so pulling the bearing apart wider would result in a poor fit I presume too.


Is this flywheel bearing needed? I would say so because the gearbox shaft that goes through the clutch would run on the bearing right? So having a loose tolerance would be bad?

from what i hear, that bearing is meant to sit snug. So I just ended up getting the old flywheel machined.
