ZMANALEX Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Just fill the pilot bearing with thick water pump grease and use a drift the same size as the hole to force the grease to the back of the bearing and the pressure will push the bearing outwards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bit that you are trying to remove is called a pilot converter Did you try the grease trick ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZMANALEX Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Cold, thick, water pump grease is best as it compresses much better that thin warm stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
