My tech has been trying to take the pilot bearing out, he said it's broken and stuck and he's been trying to take it out all day and he doesn't want to break anything, anyone had this happen to them or have any suggestions?

slide hammer - and talk dirty to it.

Or pickup a new flywheel

if anything tell him to break the polit bearing. their is a treak to getting it out with grease if i am not mistaken. i made something up to get it out. i forgot . if i am remember i post it up

I told him to get the new flywheel but he said no, he said he needs a special tool to take it out...

the grease trick is the best actually

Fill it with grease behind the pilot and find a bolt or pin or whatever that is close to the inside dimension of the pilot bearing. put it in the pilot hole and hit it with a hammer. The grease will push the bearing right out

LFA951

Let me know is you remember the trick, he's been dealing with this all day and it's what's keeping him from finishing...

Pilot bearing is not in the flywheel. It's got to come out.

There is a special pilot bearing puller that never fails.

Rip It

I bought a pilot bearing puller but had to grind it down so the hooks would fit. Once ground down, it worked like a charm.

THanks guys, he is going to borrow a bearing remover from his friend in Miami....

Do you mean the inner race has been pulled out leaving just the outer race stuck in there?
