    Another Horn Rod Problem

    So I went to install my new horn rod. I can't even come close to getting it started down the bore in the steering column. There's quite a buildup of rust in the bore.

    Pilot bearing position

    My replacement pilot bearing is thicker than the surface in the flywheel it's made to be located on. I want the bearing to be in the right location to correctly support the end of the main drive gear. What would be the best position to use? 1) I can press it in place so it's centered on the...
