Pilot Bearing removal using bread
Permalink  
 

Today I removed the pilot bearing in my 302 Ford motor using the bread trick.  In 10 minutes it was out using half a hot dog bun and a 5/8 X 3 inch bolt.

Works super with no mess.  I had never heard of this before.  Something that might help down the road.

Following is a you tube video I came across last nite.

ive tapped the bushing and inserted a grease nipple and pumped it out.  works slick.  being a bearing though the threading method wouldnt work very well.  i never use bearings anyways, they tend to fail easy.  if a busing is not available ill turn one on my lathe from bronze rod stock rather then buy a bearing

I have used grease before. A pilot bearing remover is so much easier though.

This method works better on small block Chevs, because most of the owners are inbred!! Sorry, couldn't resist !!

Going off topic here, On bronzewall bushings I tap them with a course tap(5/8 I think) and then run a bolt in to push the bushing out.
