What does a pilot bearing do and can it cause grinding and/or disable the clutch from releasing all the way?

mmm.. crap... my friend and i installed a new tranny and clutch but didnt do the pilot because my friend thought that it was too hard to take out, so i was wondering if theres any way to do it without taking the whole tranny out?
