Omg you are a freaking genius, I’ve been fighting with mine for 3 hours because it was stuck with rust, I tried this and took it out in a minute. Thank you so much. I used an impact driver btw.

I have to admit, I though that looked janky as shit but you can't knock it till you try it so I tried watching instead of trying a new food and low and behold I found a gem. Kudos man, you earned it.

ABSOLUTE GENIUS LEVEL! Tried the grease method, but only blew the dust shields off, which was worthless. One thing worth mentioning, you have to play around with where to jam the scewdriver in so the bolt doesn't move, but after that, its butta.

I was trying to remove the spigot bearing on my 60-year-old MF35 tractor which needed a clutch replacement (bearing had never been previously removed even though I did the clutch 40 years ago). Tried the bread method for a couple of hours but that did not work. Tried your method but initially, it failed to work as the inner part of the bearing kept rotating. I gave up but filled the cavity behind the bearing with a mixture of 33% kerosene and 67% auto transmission fluid and rotated the flywheel to distribute it. Came back 24 hours later and tried your method again, with a different bolt and screwdriver. Did not experience the problem I had initially, and the bearing eased out easily. That made me a happy bloke, thanks!

I just watched this video after spending an hour and half trying to get my pilot bearing out. .it worked easy and had it out in 5 minutes.. thank you

Thank you. Bread wasn’t working but your trick did

Took me more time finding the right nut and bolt than this actually took to do! Thanks for this =)

Worked perfect with some old hardware I had laying around. The actual pilot pulled tool would not bite the brown it bearing. Thanks for the upload!

Worked! Best solution on KZfaq! Keep up the good work.

Worked perfectly. I was having issues with everything spinning until I introduced an impact gun. Quick clean easy

Thanks Buddy. Grease method did not work for me but this did on my 2006 Xterra. It's a VQ40 DE. Pretty similar. Lifesaver.

It worked. Thanks man. I got my rb25det auto spigot bush out after watching this.

Many thanks from the uk, helped me sort my 300zx clutch👌

This worked great on my 1948 Chevrolet! Thanks for sharing your ideas!

Thank you for sharing the great idea. The pilot bearing is one of the bigger headaches of replacing your clutch. Bravo.

I jus literally went out side and did it this way and it worked, took it out in 2mins

Dang! Big brain plays over here! Never done it this way but that had it out in under a minute of wrenching!

This technique works fantastic. Thank you for making this video

This just worked for me !! Thank you !!!

A+ method sir, youre the best kinda guy to turn wrenches with

This is such a helpful video!

Good job ... That worked great and was quick and easy !!

Wow. That's a great idea & as you said it's much cleaner than grease.💯👍

smart man, thanks. 3:45 am... bout to have to try this. hope i can find the right damn nut and bolt.

you are a genius. Thanks.

The bolt screwed in may damage housing of some machines like ceiling fan body. Hammering candle wax is way better methid.

Gonna try this after doing the bread method for half an hour. I’ll be back to share results

That's awesome, thanks for vid.

the pilot bearing is the same throughout all nissan and infinity manual transmissions. if you changed the title this would probably find more ppl

Thankyou

Well played...👍

thanks brooo u the man, saavior

Be careful doing this, some motors have freeze plugs on the end of the crank and it’s a good way to push that out!! Check your motor first.

Legit!

t6hanks bro u helped me alot

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Amazing! You are hired

Worked really well. Cheers!

What a legend. Is auto pilot different from manual?.

Hell yeah

All good until the bolt breaks! I used dremel accessorie #9901. Tungsten carbide tip. Carefully cut at the 3 and 9 o'clock position repeatedly to avoid cutting into the crankshaft. Took 10 minutes with the carbide cutting bit.

What side bolt are guys using I cannot seem to find the correct one…

Does this work If the nut doesn’t go over the edge? I have a needle style pilot bearing and looks pressed fully in with no space behind it

You are a Star ⭐⭐⭐!!!

Thanks man,

It worked thanks

great idea

I like it. I like it alot.

make sure you use a strong bolt. i broke off the bolt. finally had to dremel out the bearing.

How far in doe the new pilot bearing need to go? Im going from auto to manual to don't have any reference

Clean 😲👍🏼

good idea!

Good idiea

What size bolt?

"Big mess" with bread? Not that I noticed when I learned/used that method about an hour ago. I can see the grease variation being a god-awful mess, though.Took about 3-4 minutes to pop my pilot bearing (Which, up until then, had refused to budge, regardless of what I tried) with a slice of bread and the spline-aligner tool that came in the box with the new clutch. The total cleanup afterwards was "stick a screwdriver into the wad of bread in the hole, flick it out (it came out as a single, solid piece - though I imagine it's possible to get over-ambitious and chisel it into a pile of crumbs) pick it up, and toss it in the trash". With your method, I'd be worried about getting the bearing/bushing "cocked" in the hole because of only putting force on one side, effectively locking it in place and requiring driving it back in to get it straight enough to try again.

what made you change the bushing

what size hardware did you use to get it out?

First！

Hero. Two hours wasted on rust. 1 min fix.

🤔💯❤🙏

Didn't even look up a video pacific to my car and your still came u nothing in the title about the car either still my car 😂

Might have to do some homosexual activities for bro after showing me this
