Re: pilot bearing removal

[Ssgacc@aol.com]

Here's an old trick I've used many times.  I've removed the old style bronze
bushings from 350 Chevys to the needle bearing job on my dorF F-250.  Pack the
i.d. of the bearing with a stiff grease.  Really fill it up.   Then take a
drift just smaller than the i.d. of the bearing and hit the grease with a
hammer.  Sounds stupid, but works great.  Easier than a puller and doesn't
damage the bearing.  One sharp hammer blow creates huge pressures behind
bearing and pops it right out.
