You may be past THIS solution... but i have in the past used a chunk of steel, wood or even an deep socket. You pack the pilot hole with greese and the pound the wooden/steel/socket dowell in and it forces the pilot out... It has worked about 1/2 the time for me.

I even went so far as to buy the pilot bearing puller from Baum Tool, and that just slips off. I resorted to a hammer and chisel, and that just took the top rim off the old shell, but it's really stuck in there. Any other suggestions before I start reaching for the drill? > Frank Miller > |
