Pilot bearing removal, need some help.

I've searched for this but some things are left unclear, is the pilot bearing what the flywheel nut was attached to and has the orange seal? i've removed the 6 bolts from it and need to know how to pull it using a hammer and screw driver, i've tried hamming along the seam of the outside border of the entire assembly and it will not budge. I also need to know how to remove the main(?) bearing in the front of the motor and whatever else is needed to get this motor taken apart, thanks in advance.

The pilot bearing sits inside the eccentric shaft, you don't have to touch that big flywheel bolt, just remove the pressure plate & clutch, and tada it's inside the eccentric shaft.

That's the stationary gear. The pilot bearing is inside the E-shaft.

You need to do some serious reading before you start taking stuff apart.
Do your HW, or it's gonna get nasty.

You don't need to remove the main bearings to disassemble the engine. Break loose the front eccentric bolt, then remove the flywheel bolt and flywheel. Remove the front eccentric bolt, front hub and front cover. Remove the sproket from the oil pump, and slide the sprocket and chain assembly off the eccentric as well as the counterweight and all the shims and bearings. Loosen the tension bolts, then disassemble the engine from the rear to the front.
