Autozone Pilot bearing removal! Less than one minute:)
 

Yeah, Autozone rocks it.

I rented the pilot bearing puller and the slide hammer. After I ground down the pilot bearing remover a little bit...it took about four blows of the slide hammer and it was out. Unreal! And that was with the E shaft sitting on my bench:)

cool ill be doing this sometime next week , but good job to you sir!

The grinding is more than just a little... I got that autozone stuff and had to take like 60% of the teeth off in order to fit it in there. Not that it matters, just saying.

I should have measured it before I started grinding. But when I was done I think the two jaws were 0.58" and the ID of the PB was .60"

YEah, it worked so damn well...destroyed the bearing though. The rolly things were everywhere:(

The local rotary community has modified 8 or so of those bearing pullers from Autozone. They keep getting new ones! Last time I rented it I just kept the whole thing. I've used it several times since and no more grinding before I do.

lol

That was my case too, so I ended not doing it :( (grindimg it that is)

Wow, you got lucky, glad it worked out

I have an automatic=no need

Actually, Glad I got lucky...glad it worked out in the Eshafts end?

With my dremel and a 80 grit sanding whee I spent about 10 minutes grinding it down.

Yeah, if I keep blowing my enigne I am going to just buy the damn things.

Geez, about 40 bucks for the puller AND the slide hammer. Rather cheap.

I wish that was the price for the tool from mazadtrix :(

i used the same thing and it helped out alot and saved some major time and it cost nothing
