If the shaft is .595 then the .593 ID bearing isn't going to work regardless of it being ford, timken, INI, Torrington (probably out of business or merged with someone).
Ugh I hope this sorts out.
Of course you're right. However, it was a caliper measurement and I can't say whether it was accurate to the last thou or two. Just putting new info out there for what it might be worth.
I agree, the accuracy of a Digital Caliper is approximately +/- .003, some are better like the Brown and Sharpe Digital, and you pay for it, but they are +/- .001; so the Caliper reading of both the OD of the Input Shaft and the ID of the Pilot Bearing are so close they should work.
Sort of "Geometric Dimensioning" both parts are close enough to work !
If there is a question then we need to move up to Micrometers, +/- .001, and Gauge Pins, and see what the reading are like but I'm thinking it is going to work !
I would get one of the larger bearing and see how it fits ! The OD of the 2.9L Bearing is the same as the 2.3L bearing so if it fits on the shaft it should fit the job !
These statements, as others from me, are not based on being a mechanic, because I am not, double check every measurement and decide what you want to do.
