I have a 1988 Toyota pickup and the pilot bearing was to small for any tools to enter that hole...used your toilet paper and grease method and it worked fantastic!...only 20 minutes. That was awesome, thanks!...
John, I just found you and like your vids. U can use just grease too. Fill the hole, get a ROUND tool as close to the hole size as u can and hit it hard a few times. The bearing or bushing will come out because of the hydraulic action. I suppose there is a chance of separating a bearing this way but then the outer race would be easier to remove. It always works with bushings.
I pack it with wheel bearing grease then find a socket that is a hair smaller. Pack the socket with grease, use an extension and pound it out. Eat the bread and wipe with TP. :)
Just don't use this method on GM LS engines. You'll pop out the freeze out plug on the end of the crank and then full oil pressure will shoot out the crank. But otherwise most vehicle you can do this.
I don't know about every time. My vehicle has 160,000 miles with original clutch. It was a real pain to get out. It broke a pilot bearing tool without even budging had to use two of them.
I'm just afraid that if this method doesn't work, packed toilet paper will be stuck in there and I won't be able to use another method like a puller or bread...
@@jecustoms52 Thanks for the tip, but I ended up not doing this because I found out my engine has a freeze plug on the crankshaft for some reason that can be damaged by pounding it in. I rented a slide hammer and bearing puller and it pulled it pretty easily. The only issue was having to take the puller apart and assemble it behind the bearing to get it to fit in the bearing hole. Wasn't too bad though. This is just a disclaimer for anyone else that has a similar engine to mine.
@@dennisnelson7777 I just replace the clutch in my vehicle that had 160,000 miles on the original clutch. It was so seized in there after 160000 miles it did not budge. It was in there so tight it broke a bearing puller. Had to use two of them. Bread grease toilet paper all that shit was not going to work.
It's working brother thanks very much im watching all the way from Papua New guinea

I have had poor luck with just grease, but bread usually works in under a minute. Even on a stubborn old diesel 6.5.

I have always used bread. Works like a charm every time and no mess
Bread. No mess and works great.
Awesome 💪🏼👍🏼thanks
It's working brother thanks very much
I remove these with rawl bolts, penny washer and a socket big enough to make force on the crankshaft.

Great video. God bless you sir.
Bread does it quickly
Cool Dude
Great trick, thanks.

I did this with old bread and it worked like a charm! >:0
Thank you!
spit and toilet paper, bread, grease ........works every time ! possibly my 5 year old's dollar store play doh ??? I may try it !
I don't know about every time. My vehicle has 160,000 miles with original clutch. It was a real pain to get out. It broke a pilot bearing tool without even budging had to use two of them.
cool dude will do this if I ever need to!!! Thnx
Me funciono
This trick does not work so well if your vehicle has 160,000 Mi with original clutch.
Try candle wax

You should be able to remove it with a screwdriver enough to use the real tool if you had to

It will work!
@@dennisnelson7777 I tried bread and grease before this and it didn't work. The slide hammer and bearing puller made it easy.
