I have a buick v6 225 oddfire with a 270 drive. Everything I've read says there should be 2 bearings on this drive, but all evidence points to only one bearing. The first two photos are from the engine side of the flywheel housing. There doesn't appear to be a place for a bearing.
The last three photos are of the drive shaft with one of the slip rings attached, and part of the torn up bearing. I only see evidence of one bearing and bearing surface on the drive shaft.
1. Is this possible with a v6? I know I have an odd combination.
2. I'm having a hard time getting the outer race of the bearing out. I started to cut it with a Dremel tool, but I'm afraid of cutting into the flywheel housing. Is there a better way to get the race out now that the flywheel housing is removed?
