PIA pilot bearing

[Plowboy]

Pilot bearing 4, pinhead puller 0, internal bearing puller 3 jaw 0, slide hammer 0, grease backing force 0. What about drilling this sucker out to about an 1/8 inch of the crank and trying the pullers or cuting with a metal blade sawsall. Any suggestions. Changing out because of blown pressure plate. busted sleeve on trans bearing cover, whats left of throwout bearing and clutch fork. Thanks to Marks4wheel able to replace the Downey trans bearing cover. Now if I can get that Pia bushing out.

I have cut them with a saw or with a dremel.

Holy fungus, Larry.

If you have the bronze bushing, just drill it out. If it is the needle bearing type, chip the needles out and then weld a few stringer beads on the outer race and it will fall out.
