Pilot Bearing removal
What ticks do you have for removing a stubborn pilot bearing?

Re: Pilot Bearing removal
Fill the cavity with grease. Slide a dowel in that fits the ID and whack it with a hammer.

Re: Pilot Bearing removal
is it an actual bearing, or just a bushing? parts stores rent slide hammers with a busing removal attachment. you slide the arms in the bushing, tighten the nut to expand them, then slide hammer it right out. the grease method works too, but its more messy and takes longer.

Re: Pilot Bearing removal
Your right, it is a bushing. Not sure why it is listed as a "bearing".
