pilot bearing removal
I've been dyin for someone to try this. My business partner and I are always sharing tricks of the trade. The other day, I mentioned the pilot bearing removal on the 7. He told me a thing he does on his racecars is to stuff the inside of the pilot bearing hole with wet toilet paper. Find a drill bit with the od of the shank that "just fits in the bearing". With the sharp point of the drillbit pointing out, whack it with a deadblow hammer. He claims it will hydraulic the bearing right out. The deadblow should not shatter the drillbit but please wear safety glasses anyway. Let me know how it works. It is important to use as close of a fit drillbit as possible.

Never tried them personally, but when compared to my OEM puller, the smaller one looks liike it should work.

this could be true,my dad worked on cars for many years before i did,he told me the way he did it was filling the center up with a lot of bearing grease and put a long bolt that fits perfectly down the center of the pilot bearing, then give it a good wack with the hammer and it should pop right out with all the pressure.it might be a little messy after but worth the time lost hunting down one of them dam bearing pullers.
