Car Forum / Land Rover Cars / May 2006series 1 pinion bush???
I am about to replace the clutch plate on my 1955 series 1, 2l petrol engine. I have it all stripped down and am about to reassemble it all. However the parts book and manual show a small pinion bush part no. 08566. I don't seem to have this or at least I haven't seen it fall off. What does it do and where does it go? From the parts diagram it looks like it sits in the hole in the middle of the flywheel where the end of the primary pinion from the gearbox protrudes. From the workshop manual it is shown between the flywheel and crank? The end of the primary pinion doesn't seem to have a similar diameter to the hole in the flywheel being smaller, does the bush help support it at the engine end? Any advice would be appreciated.

The primary pinion fits into it by (from memory) about 1/2" or so - it's this little thing that requires you to have a clutch alignment tool when replacing the clutch, otherwise the engine will never mate with the gearbox. It's sintered bronze, would be relatively easy to make one up if you have a lathe and parts not available. Sometimes, when you withdraw the gearbox this bush will stay on the primary pinion instead of remaining where it should be on the crank. Ideally, the replacement is a tight fit that needs to be reamed after fitting.

If you can't get hold of one mail me, they are just over a quid and shouldn't cost much to post. Martin. > I am about to replace the clutch plate on my 1955 series 1, 2l petrol > engine.
