pilot bearing removal
just did a clutch and jegs tech line told me to get the pilot bushing out pack some grease behind the bushing/bearing the find a solid pin of some sort to TIGHTLY go through the bearing then smash it with a hammer and the grease having no where to go, will force the bearing out... i had my doubts but it worked great,even with a out-of-round pilot bearing it worked. i used the back of a 3/8's drive extension and wrapped 2 rubber gloves around it to make it seal as well as it could and bloop popped right out. hope this is useful.

I used a clutch alignment tool. The bearing wouldn't move when I wacked away with a normal hammer--four-pound sledge and out she came.
