Pilot Bearing Depth

[2002#3]

I installed a pilot bearing 8 years ago and must do it again.  I don't remember how far to drive it in.  I drove it to where it looks to be indicated in a diagram in the blue service manual:  a little below flush with the end of the crankshaft flange snout (see photo).  Am I correct?  

Thanks.

Iirc there is a small step so it won’t go further than that.

Thanks, tzei.  I looked more closely at the diagram.  Yes, there looks like a small stop which I did not see pre-install.  I don't think I am there yet.  I can use a small probe and feel for the stop behind the bearing.

Seat it all the way to the step.

Yep, that's what I see now.  Thanks.

Just tap it in.  Below is my preferred installation tool.  LOL.  

 

P.S thanks for the picture.  I needed the bearing number for a future project.
