It's been nearly 15 years since I wrenched on these things for a living, but we used to pump the pilot hole full of grease, then coil some twine in there till it was nice and tight. At that point, we'd take an old pilot shaft and hammer it into the pilot hole, which would inevitably push the pilot bearing out in a blast of greasy ecstasy--always worked for me. I've used this technique over an over again and have never once used a pilot bearing puller. YMMV.
