FD3 Pilot Bearing removal
Ok So I have the gearbox out and the new ACT setup sitting here, I have removed the seal in front of the pilot bearing but I can't get the bearing to slip out.
I have done dozens of bushings with the grease and input shaft hydrulic pressure trick but I don't have a pilot shaft to use here.
Any tricks?
should it just slide out?
I planned on making an alignment shaft to get the plate centered but it would seem the openess of the caged bearing would keep the grease pressure trick from pushing the bearing out like it use to do work with the bushings.

Thanks Dave
Now all I need is the 37 tools called SST listed in the factory shop manuals. I was looking and it looks like the "SST" for the bearing is a slide hammer type of tool, is that correct?
I have a slide hammer and a seal hook I could modify. I thinks that would work, it that in the ballpark?

The blind hole puller from autozone twice and it works perfect. I first asked autozone for a pilot bearing puller and what they brought out didn't look like it work very well. Then they brought out the blind hole puller.
