While rebuilding the head, I noticed rust buildup in the control valve...so when I removed it to clean it out I discovered that it is not repairable... Any experience with replacement options?
Thanks

Ok... Update.... I did a heat and freeze technique to break the seal between the race and the crankshaft... I used a small flame torch to heat up the area, then I poured liquid propane on the race to freeze it.... I was able to regrind the puller and caught enough lip to pull out the race...
replacing clutch on my December 1974 FJ 40... After removing flywheel, I noticed the pilot bearing was in pieces, so there is just the race left in the end of the crank... I am having problems getting the bearing puller to hook the edge and pull it out... Any magical ideas out there?
I am getting ready to replace the clutch in my December 1974 FJ 40. I did it once before a long time ago. Is it easier to just pull the engine and tranny with transfer? Or try and pull the tranny and transfer out the bottom the back in? Any comments?
