How to check and replace the pilot bearing at the end of the crankshaft on Honda Fit?

Found at the leading end of the crankshaft the pilot bearing takes the forward thrust from the end of the transaxle input shaft which means any time the transaxle is removed, the pilot bearing should be inspected for wear. Lubrication is performed by this bearing and to get to it, access is possible through the middle of the flywheel; it should be given a slight twist with a finger in order to detect any symptoms of roughness or play or even wear. Due to the press-fit of the bearing onto the crankshaft, it will be required to remove the bearing with the aid of a slide hammer and puller. It should not be greased heavily and then recommended that it should be tapped into the bore till the shoulder inside the crankshaft using a bearing driver or a socket which is slightly narrow to the outer race of the new bearing. However, after replacing the bearing, the transaxle could be refitted back again to the vehicle.

Honda Fit Pilot Bearing

The Honda Fit Pilot Bearing ensures that the manual gearbox input shaft is in the centered position so that there is minimal friction and that changing gears is crisp. On the generations of compact hatches, this Pilot Bearing support is located in the crankshaft or flywheel to support both radial and axial forces so that the shaft is free to rotate as power transfers through the engine into the transmission. Early Fit models would often have a sintered bronze Pilot Bearing bushing that uses a lubricated surface through oil soaking, which is optimal at light weight but not as resistant to heavy clutch wear. Subsequent Honda releases applied a rolling-element Pilot Bearing, either a small ball or needle style, whose inner and outer race allow balls or rollers to slide easily, distributing loads and operating at a lower temperature at higher rpm. The replacement of the bushing by the bearing made the Fit lineup even quieter and with a longer service life. No matter the style, the sooner a noisy or rough Honda Fit Pilot Bearing is replaced, the less vibration, input-shaft wear, and stubborn shifting will occur, which highlights the importance of the Pilot Bearing in the overall Honda drivetrain reliability.
