I am searching for the part number for a pilot bearing on a Pushbutton Pantera. Pushbutton cars have a Type 1 ZF transaxle and it looks like things are different in the area around the input shaft. There is an adapter for the pilot bearing. Please me know if you have the part number for the pilot bearing with this setup. This picture shows the adapter.

There was definitely too much press fit. I fabricated a simple press from 1/8 angle iron and used the flywheel bolts holes to turn the bearing in. The angle iron began to bend so I helped back into place with a hammer and that was it for the bearing. I went to Wilkinson's this morning for a new bearing. This time I filed out the adapter rim, fabricated a new press from 1/4" aluminum, , froze the bearing and greased it, heated the adapter with MAP gas, and tried again. My new and improved press also started to bend so I hit it as well with a hammer while cringing. This time the bearing started to go in. All is well now.
