I need a Homemade way to remove a pilot bearing.
 

Got no puller, and it's to late for one.

what other ways do I have to remove it? this thing is jammed in there GOOD. The pressure trick is no good, because I already blew out the seals.

Okay, you'll love this one.

You take cotton balls and soak them in ice cold water. Then take one cotton ball at a time, and shove them into the center hole of the bearing. Fill it up with soggy cotton balls. When it is full, keep shoving them in there, really pack them in. Then using a brass drift or punch that just fits in the center hole of the bearing start pounding more and more cotton balls into the hole. When they compress, add more and pound them in. At some point, you'll build up enough pressure behind the bearing, to force it out.

You can use little bits of T-shirts too.

lol, I was like, "pilot bearing that goes in the engine crank, then the transmission shaft goes in the pilot bearing?" The engine crank is on the same side as the transmission shaft? lol


I'm poor. I've never even seen a BMW. :8

Not in the same way.

I thought you were retarded or something that you couldn't get it out. I did talk to one kid that couldn't get his out b/c he didn't take off the flywheel.
