I already broke a $15 Harbor freight POS that I had to spend 20 min grinding down to make fit. I can't see spending $120 from atkins, etc. Anyone have one I can borrow/rent?

 

no puller,but 2 possible other solns.
1) Fill the hole in the pilot bearing with grease, get all the air out. use an old spark plug, put it in the hole and hit it with a hammer, it blows the pilot bearing out of the flywheel.
(wear eye protection and dont hit your finger)
2) an acetylene torch works wonders for cutting the pilot bearing out, just heat the bearing to red hot and touch the oxygen....
i know #2 works, and have it on good advice that the grease/sparkplug thing does too.

 

ill second that, it works very well

 

autozone... rent the 120$ one, then return it and get your money back

 

Is the eshaft out of the car?

 

No. . .
I will have to check autozone tomorrow to see if they have one, I tried pepboys and action auto and neither had one.

 

If your talking about the needle bearing type pilot bearing your working to hard. Take an ice pick (or similar) pound it between the bearing and the wall of the hole in the flywheel, pry the bearing in half and pull it out with needle nose plyers.
