how bad did I rape my e shaft?

Well after every puller and grease method failed to get My pilot bearing out I broke out the dremel and got the rollers out then started diggin in the the race which I apparently managed to grind through to the e shaft.....
Mark feels deeper than it looks.. am I over thinking it? Is it destroyed? Should I just install new bearing and forget about it?

As long as the new bearing is right enough not to spin in there, you're good.

don't wrestle trannies. They / it / schman have feelings to. Build an "H" out of your wood as a jig and use your shitty jack to lift it. beyond that, some more wood as a lever as need be.

I get creative sometimes being a tall skinny bastard myself.

make sure that the rear of the engine is lower than the front of the engine(tilted)..
it makes life a lot easier to get the Transmission in.

and Phil....Don't wrestle with a Tranny..they don't play fair and will grab ya by the D***..!

Glad to know I'm not the only one struggling out here struggling, I tried all the tricks in the book too and still couldn't get it. You think yours is bad, check out mine.
