When I replaced my clutch due to a shot pilot bearing, I used a round
flat-nosed punch to break the outer bearing shell.  I placed the punch
against the flat surface of the shell lip and drove it with a hammer
parallel to the shaft.   A few good whack later the punch cut through the
shell and I was able to pry out the bearing with a screwdriver.  No damage
to the transmission.


Some play in the shaft is normal, but I don't know the spec.
