where you live? maybe somebody has a stack of them.

I got a T/O bearing with the collor from Napa . That was years ago and still have it but I just put a new T/O bearing on the old collar now.

On a bench vice;
to remove get a socket that fits inside the T/O bearing and puch the collar off.
then get the new T/O bearing and sqeeze it back on with the vice.

Again I say you need to slow down and figure out what you have and don't have, 'cause this 20-Questions stuff gets old. You've got to do some of the work too, ya know?

So, firstly - ARE you having trouble locating a T/O bearing collar for the 200mm flywheel? You ended your sentence with a question mark? I directed you to the link explaining all about it, including a handy-dandy little T/O bearing collar diagram listing lengths and, gasp, part numbers. That handy-dandy diagram, mind, that was posted by defdes in this very thread one entire page previous.

Bearing's pressed on to the collar, but tomato/tomatoe?

Rockauto? Nissan? Kragen? Since you haven't bothered to fill in your location, we've no idea where you are and since we don't know we can't exactly point you to the nearest place? U.S., perhaps? Canadia?

From where? Most distributors these days just bundle the standard 510/1600 PP in "Roadster" kits these days? For your engine and driving style you won't need the extra clamping force?

Everything needs to match the PP used. Disc, bearing, collar. You didn't read the link I gave you, did you?

oh i did read it, gets a bit confusing when like you said that these days everything comes with the "kit" pp, disc, T/O bearing, pilot bushing. if that is the case shouldn't the T/O bearing and collar be pressed in already and that pp and t/o bearing collar already would work together?

regardless how I interpret you as being a smart a#%., thanks for the info.

In your list there, is there any mention of the collar? Collars aren't a wear item and so aren't included with any kit.

I'm not being a smartass, I'm trying to drill through your 20-Questions drivel to figure out what, exactly, you have and what, exactly, you need. You're making this an awful lot more difficult than it needs to be and I don't know if that's because you don't know what you're talking about or if you just haven't been bothered to do the research on this topic before posting your five threads.
