pilot bearing trouble
removing my pilot bearing. the autozone puller did not fit into the bearing so i proceeded with multiple punches and chisels. after 2 days of messing with it i got the dremel out and sand through the bitch! its completely cut in half and its STILL stuck.
I think the question is; i beat up the eccentric shaft a little bit but not much. is this gonna cause any problems? any advice on what you guys have done in the past?

If you scroll down to the fifth post in https://www.rx7club.com/2nd-generation-specific-1986-1992-17/pilot-tool-533854/ , there's an explanation and some pictures of a method that I use. You need a little bit of clearance behind the bearing for this method to work.
I'm not sure about the damaged eccentric shaft, but I doubt that a LITTLE damage would cause problems, assuming you sand the rough edges smooth. Lots of people on this site state that they use a dremmel tool to get the bearing out--I assume that they must have also cut into the shaft a bit using that method.
Good luck with getting yours out.
