How did you manage to break the pilot bearing? It can be replaced.

Im an idiot. I used a puller and it popped out with the bearing. Do you know where i could find one, or even how to reinstall it correctly?

You broke the pilot bearing? Are you sure?

You can get a PB from any of the big rotary names. Mazda, Mazdatrix, Atkins rotary. You probably need a new PB seal too. And it has to be pressed into the shaft.
