PA HELP - Pilot Bearing Remover

I'm replacing my clutch which means replacing the dreaded pilot bearing... after reading some horror stories from people I'd prefer to use the Mazda SSM (Pilot Bearing remover tool). If anyone has this tool and is willing to lend it or rent it to me, message me please!

I'm located in Southampton PA.

Not necessary. Go to harbor freight and get the blind hole puller kit. It's about sixty bucks and comes with a slide hammer and several Collettes, one of which is exactly like the mazda tool. Ive used a mazda tool, and I promise you the one from harbor freight works just as well.

for future reference you can rent the blind hole puller from AutoZone for a refundable deposit. I've used it twice and it worked great each time.
