my brothers car rx7 1989 gxl the clutch was acting funny so i took it apart, and i seen the piolt bearing was just destroyed the little needles are everywhere, and i was using the haynes manuel as a referance, and it says for the piolt bearing that i need a slide hammer and a special adapter found at auto parts stores, does anyone know what the special adatper is? any help would be very nice...thanks

If you can find one elsewhere for cheaper, let us know!

 

i used a dremel with a carbide bit, i cut that sucker out. but i'm sure that tool would be a lot easier!

 

Save yourself an hour of hell and possible damage to the eccentric shaft and just get the tool.

 

jsut go to autozone and get a pilot bearing puller, it worked fine for me, took like 5 min

 

Yeah I also went to Autozone and borrowed the pilot bearing puller and slide hammer it was little to big to fit in the bearing so I filed the end of the puller just a bit they never noticed it worked just fine
