Spigiot bearing removal!!!
2014 2.2 double cab, noisy clutch, turned out to be the spigiot bearing had collapsed.
Anyone replaced one, and how the hell did you get it out, it's in there mighty tight!?

I couldn't use the grease method as it was badly damaged, and wouldn't hold the grease.... Big Cry

Now resorting to chiselling, drilling etc, and it's still not budging!
Any ideas greatly appreciated...... Rolling Eyes 80" 80" 86" 88" 90"

I would love to know as well. I have heard of specialised slide hammers etc but my local garage recommended a chisel.

I've got the proper slide hammer but it wouldn't touch it Big Cry

I've now got half of it out, and done about 3 chisels in!
It had got so hot, it's practically welded to the crank..... Rolling Eyes 80" 80" 86" 88" 90"

Thanks very much for that Dorset!

I didn't want to damage the rear of the bearing, but now know I'm able to drill through the back of it is good news!
I couldn't get a new one until tomorrow, so wasn't sure if the back was part of it?
I will use that method tomorrow.

That's a great help, cheers Thumbs Up 80" 80" 86" 88" 90"

Now removed Wink

Drilled through the back, pulled it out with a slide hammer.

Thanks again for the link Dorset. Thumbs Up
