Replace or just turn this flywheel?

5 speed Midland translation for the 04 R50

Seems like I'll have to go to pick n pull and hope for the best, and if that fails go to mini mania or way motor works. I couldn't find a clutch kit that included the guide tube at my local Auto parts stores. Here's some pictures.


I am having the flywheel turned because it looks fine aside from some heat marks and veins.

Here's the pictures.

He's looking for a guide tube, not the centering tool.

Funny enough the auto stores keep thinking I'm talking about the centering tool. My guide tube for the throwout bearing is scored in a circular fashion. I'm headed to pick n pull cause they luckily have a couple Coopers in the yard

I appreciate it Way. I can't wait any longer so I'm gonna rotate my tube 120 degrees then put it all back together.

I called my local mini dealer and they just so happened to have the part in stock and for only $36. I didn't bother calling them before because I expected it to be far more expensive.

Get the new part. Do not try to reuse the old part. It is just not worth the headache.

I'm struggling to get this part off. The rubber seal is like metal . I tried sending you screw through it and it didn't seem to want to grab maybe I should grab a sharper screw?
