OK, so as I was saying, the pilot bearing goes into the crank.  Bill,
the transmission/engine I'm talking about is the stock PRV6 with the
stock manual tranny.  

When I reinstall the pilot bearing, is there a special tool that I
need or do I just push it into the crank until it won't go any further?
