Guest Posted October 22, 2002 Posted October 22, 2002 Nice easy question: I know I need a spigot bearing for my Zetec but having not yet got one, I was wondering what it does. Thanks. Quote
stu999 Posted October 22, 2002 Posted October 22, 2002 Its a bearing that sits in the tail of the crankshaft, which the gearbox input shaft slides into, allowing it to be supported from both ends. HTH Stu Quote
Westfieldman Posted October 23, 2002 Posted October 23, 2002 You will need a spigot bearing this fits in the crank shaft Ford part No.1596468.cost £3.20 Paul. Quote
Guest Posted October 24, 2002 Posted October 24, 2002 Cheers, Am I right in assuming that Zetecs don't have a spigot bearing as standard then because the Mondeo is front wheel drive & so does not have a long input shaft that needs supporting? Quote
Westfieldman Posted October 24, 2002 Posted October 24, 2002 You will need to fit one. Imade up a tool for tapping this bearing in with do you want to borrow it as using a pin punch will b******* it up. Paul. Quote
