    I did not come up with this I found the idea on the internet but I have not seen anything about it on AZ. A big tip to remove the pilot bearing with no mess or damage is to use bread!!
    Heres how I did it. Took a couple pieces of bread and stuffed it in the pilot bearing hole till it was full. Then I took a 3/8 socket and a extension, with some heavy duty plastic to make a nice seal and packed the bread and repeated till the bearing was pushed out by the hydraulic effect. Worked great and no special tools required

    Nice tip! Packing it with grease will do the same thing.

    Yeah but grease around the flywheel area for me said bad decision!! Lol I figured it would get on everything and eventually on my flywheel and clutch pad as I installed it all.
