KNONFS That is the Very exact one that I was using, they had it and the local AFB auto skills center the teeth may have been dull I guess, but I tried before on my N/A and no luck but lemme know if it helps!

GREASE DOES ****.......i got the perfect size dowel and packed grease in there and hit it several times over and over...and it just made a big damn mess.

BTW just so you know Black, I searched for "Pilot bearing Removal" right after I posted what I did and it came up with 5 other threads not including yours with very detailed ways on how to remove it. I even thought of taking a screen dump and posting it to prove u wrong but I didn't because I wasn't trying to make a sceen... if I was I would not have answered ur question. I don't really post on here very much but I saw ur thread and I had just done this exact thing about 2 weeks ago so I figured I would help. Course then u had to be a little bitch about it so next time someone needs help I will just keep my mouth shut.

ohh btw the way I removed mine was using a good pilot bearing remover with shard teeth attached to a slide hammer like the one KNONFS posted
