Any way to remove the pilot bearing without spending $150 for the tool?
Thanks

I've always cut it with a dremel and a carbide bit just enough so I can shatter it with a chisel. Broken pieces come right out.

I tried the bread/grease trick this past time.... all it did was make a mess.

$150?!? Really... Damn that's outrageous. Must be Snap-on.



EDIT: This won't work?

hit your local parts house with a tool loaner program and take out the "blind hole puller" ... do not know of a time it didn't work ... easy peasy then bring back to store

Get a wooden dowel that just fits into the hole and then some plain white bread. Start stuffing it into the pilot bearing, hammering it in with the dowel and it'll pop right out. Less messy than using grease

Qingdao, I don't see how bread would make a mess, done it successfully twice and it was the easiest to clean.
