Quick and easy way of removing it - fill the pilot bearing hole FULL of
grease... then get a bolt that will JUST fit inside of the pilot bearing
(M14??) then take a hammer and give the bolt a good, hard smack and pop -
out comes the pilot bearing!

Listies,
I'm having a bit of trouble removing the old pilot bearing. The FLAPS sold
me
this self tapping hydraulic thing that you use with a grease gun but it
hasn't quite done what it's supposed to so I'm looking for alternative
methods. Since this is my first clutch job on a Vanagon I'm not up to speed
on the various techniques. Any input will be greatly
appreciated.............................
