Sorry for pulling this up again, but I just wanted to add that I just rented the puller from Advance Auto and it worked great. It is the Powerbuilt Pilot Bearing Puller, and I think it costs about 30-35 bucks new.

That looks pretty good. I might buy one of those. Did you have to do any grinding etc on the puller to make it fit into the pilot bearing?

Nope, it fit in perfectly. I'll post another pic of it where you can see it better in a little while. Ok, more like tonight sometime.

Well, I got a bit sidetracked last night, so heres the pic. The two arms fold flat, easily allowing them to fit inside of the bearing. You just turn the black screw thing at the top and it opens the two arms up. Once they are in place, you place the big U-shaped brace on the flywheel and tighten down the nut. As you continue to turn the nut, it pulls the arm assembly out. It took a few trys to get right, but did the job without drama.

I used one from Auto Zone, I had to grind on the ends a little to make it fit, but it worked great (it's the type that uses a slide hammer).
