I've heard bread works too. Never tried it though. The Mazda tool is worth it's weight in gasoline.


Here is what I used:



BLIND HOLE BEARING PULLER





Designed especially for pilot bearings and other jobs that require an internal puller.



3 lb. slide hammer with T-handle for secure grip

Chrome-plated shaft for smooth operation

Four collets: 3/8" to 1/2", 9/16" to 11/16", 5/8" to 1", 1" to 1-1/4"

Blow mold case

The head design looks identical to what Mazda uses.

Another trick fill the hole with grease then take a rod or bolt that just fits inside the bore. Whack it with a hammer and the bearing pops out.



(using a rag around the affected area doesn't hurt either.)
