Anyone got the dimensions please ?

15mm ID x 21mm OD seems to be common to a lot of Fords ?

ETA, just thought, I've got a spare gearbox, just had a measure of first motion shaft and the 15mm bit is looking good.

Did I see someone on here a while back had made a removal tool from a Rawlbolt?

Thanks Bob, never seen it done, but was also told that way many years ago.

The Rawlblot and bracket looks a bit less messy so (when I get around to it) will try that first but have the grease and big hammer in reserve smash

Could be that the "grease 'n hammer" works better with larger diameter bearings like these used on older Fords scratchchin

The Alternative Parts List covers the crankshaft spigot bearing and gives the dimensions.
Thanks, didn't think to look there.
But not totally clear ? quotes 2.8 engine and says later engines may be larger ?

Hope not, I've orderd the 15/21mm bearing irked

Slipped the gearbox out yesterday, changed the thrust bearing, hopefully sorted oil leak and while it was out changed the spigot bearing.

Thanks for the removal tool idea, worked a treat !

Old bearing still attached in photo ........
