Pilot bearing removal made really easy
 

Guys I've been doing this for years but lately watching you suffer. It's time to let my 'free' pilot bearing tool out. Quit paying big money for tools you can make it 10 minutes.

Nifty little trick. You should have someone hold the camera next video though so we can see everything going on.

you cunning devil. :) well done.

I got a few little tricks like that. Lol time to share.

Trick to it is you have to knock all the needles out tho. But most time they're gone anyway. Or it don't matter if you do :) since your changing it.

Anybody wanna help with this?

How about for those of us who have not yet hopped on the FB bandwagon?

not bad for a home made unit. i bought the Mazda pilot bearing tool and i feel as though it was the best $120 i have ever spent on a tool. when using a dent puller you will need one with more than a 3lb weight. often times the race swells and sticks in the eccentric shaft from heat and can require the lip of a tool on its inner lip in order to remove it. nicely done though.

If you lived within an hour of Nashville I could help.

Cool little trick! ECU wiring is bunches of fun, doing it tomorrow on the TII swap :bigthumb:

Actually you only need a dent puller if it sticks. Just a regular cordless impact or drill with s 14mm socket pulls it out

I use a single screw,some mud and a hammer.best free pilot tool remover ever lol.
I don't have Facebook so I can't see what trick you posted

About 2 1/2 I think.

Shouldn't need a Facebook account. It's marked public.

This link doesn't work on mobile phone. (And no I don't have a PC or laptop at home)

I can't see it either. Just post your stuff on the forum like everyone else. Please?

One other plus for the Mazda tool; it doubles as a dowel-rod puller - - with the head removed it threads right in there like it was made for it.

you can also use bearing grease. I've also heard of sliced bread being used lol.
