I've completed the tear down of my driveline and I need some advice on a couple of things.
1) condition of the flywheel, all the way round the mating surface there are cracks in the surface, is this usual? Can this be skimmed?
2) Can someone point me to a removal proceedure for the rear crank seal and the phosphorus Bronze shaft bearing / bushing. 3.5 RV8 SD1
3) What size 'normal' input shaft? This is currently using the 20.4mm shaft of the 924 but I am thinking to upgrade to the 25mm shaft of the 944 driveline.
The seal actually looks ok but might as well change it now I'm hear, the bronze type bushing looks some what beaten up.

Bear with me, this is the first time I have attempted such an overhaul on anything.

That rear crank oil seal looks fine - I would leave it well alone! They are a pig to get right (in my experience!)
To get the old spigot bush out, pack the hole with grease, then drive in a piece of bar that is a good fit into the hole. The hydraulic pressure will push it out.
I think the standard size (i.e. LT77 shaft diameter) is 1".

I have always found that a really good heavy thump with a lump hammer to drive the bar into the void behind the bush helps a treat but be careful of the grease that may blast back at you when you clout it with the hammer.
