Re: can i use this piolot bearing

Why are you considering a roller pilot bearing over a stock bronze one?

Because my stock one got reamed out to .675" from .592" that is a difference of .083" which caused clutch alignment issues. I hope to reduce the wear of this part by using a bearing in place of a bushing.
