What is the easiest way to get a pilot bearing out i have tryed a slide hammer and gease and the bar thing neither is working anyone got any ideas??

 

did someone say pilot?

 

If you don't have the tool, this is a trick I used before. take some WET newspaper and stuff it down the hole until is full. take a center punch(the size of the inner diameter of the hole) and start smashing the wet newspaper with the punch and a hammer. stuff some more wet newspaper and repeat the process. it will take about 4 tries and the wet newspaper pushes the pilot bearing out nice and clean. works awesome.



interesting how something like wet paper gets the job done!

 

smart! gotta try this sometime....not for a long time but i will...
