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.
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 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.
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!
Thanks for the tip. This didn't work quite exactly for me. My bolt would go crooked and disengage. What did work was a much larger both and nut. I ground the nut down to the inner diameter of the bushing, thinned it so it would just fit past the end of the bushing, and put a flat on one side to use for the screw driver, and voila, the bushing came right out. And how I have a tool for the next time. There was not enough room for a proper puller. I'm doing it without removing the transmission. I just have the transmission pushed to the side in a Civic.
@@icesalami I bought my zx in oct with a clutch so worn out you could put it in 5th from a stop and it would just sit there lol. Replaced the clutch, had to have the flywheel skimmed a lot from the clutch rivets cutting a big groove in it. While i was in there, replaced the rear main seal, the brass pilot bushing, gearbox seals front and back and the gearbox shift lever arm thing as it was worn to fuck. Its my daily now, does struggle a bit into first and second when the gearbox is cold from being owned by chimps, Ill have it rebuilt for I hope around 800 quid when i go twin turbo next year 🤌🤌
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.
Depends on the inner diameter of the bushing. Watch the video again he explains the nut size requirements in the first part of the video and just get a bolt that fits the nut that works in your application.
"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.
@@supersabrosinho Maybe for you - I'll gladly sacrifice a slice of bread for the "I know beyond a doubt it's gonna work" factor. This method may indeed work, but for me, it has too much "hope I get lucky this time" involved.

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
Took me more time finding the right nut and bolt than this actually took to do!
Thanks for this =)
What was the size😅
@@phantom_saints14673” 5/16 on my 1993 Sonoma with a 2.8/T5. I’m doing the clutch and changing anything that’s accessible. 😉
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!
Just did this on my Z31’s VG30. It’s almost funny how easy this is. Thank you! 🙏

Worked! Best solution on TH-cam! Keep up the good work.
Thank you for sharing the great idea. The pilot bearing is one of the bigger headaches of replacing your clutch.
Bravo.
Thanks Buddy. Grease method did not work for me but this did on my 2006 Xterra. It's a VQ40 DE. Pretty similar. Lifesaver.
Worked perfectly. I was having issues with everything spinning until I introduced an impact gun. Quick clean easy
Thank you. Bread wasn’t working but your trick did

It worked. Thanks man. I got my rb25det auto spigot bush out after watching this.
The bolt screwed in may damage housing of some machines like ceiling fan body. Hammering candle wax is way better methid.
Many thanks from the uk, helped me sort my 300zx clutch👌
do you have a manual transmission? was your pilot bearing bad? what symptoms or sounds was your car having?

This worked great on my 1948 Chevrolet! Thanks for sharing your ideas!
Dang! Big brain plays over here! Never done it this way but that had it out in under a minute of wrenching!
Thank you guys so much this just helped me help my boyfriend! Amen !
You are the goat bro! You just saved me $150 bucks🤣
A+ method sir, youre the best kinda guy to turn wrenches with
This technique works fantastic. Thank you for making this video
smart man, thanks. 3:45 am... bout to have to try this. hope i can find the right damn nut and bolt.
Wow. That's a great idea & as you said it's much cleaner than grease.💯👍
Good job ... That worked great and was quick and easy !!
I jus literally went out side and did it this way and it worked, took it out in 2mins
This is such a helpful video!
This saved my butt today!
This just worked for me !! Thank you !!!
What a legend.
Is auto pilot different from manual?.
believe they should be the same
Thank you, that was very useful.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Amazing! You are hired
That's awesome, thanks for vid.

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
then it won't work it needs to grab the bearing from the back
thanks brooo u the man, saavior
Well played...👍
What side bolt are guys using I cannot seem to find the correct one…
the pilot bearing is the same throughout all nissan and infinity manual transmissions. if you changed the title this would probably find more ppl
you are a genius. Thanks.
t6hanks bro u helped me alot
How far in doe the new pilot bearing need to go? Im going from auto to manual to don't have any reference
just hammer it in till it wouldn't go future in anymore
Gonna try this after doing the bread method for half an hour. I’ll be back to share results
Came out in less than a minute!! Used an an impact instead bc why not. Thanks bro youre a freaking genius
Worked really well. Cheers!
Legit!
make sure you use a strong bolt. i broke off the bolt. finally had to dremel out the bearing.
good point bro thanks for the tip
Thankyou
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.
what size hardware did you use to get it out?
i think just 12mm ones
what made you change the bushing
just maintenance
Hell yeah
You are a Star ⭐⭐⭐!!!
What size bolt?
Depends on the inner diameter of the bushing. Watch the video again he explains the nut size requirements in the first part of the video and just get a bolt that fits the nut that works in your application.
It worked thanks
I like it. I like it alot.
Thanks man,
my bolt is bent and rounded its in there tight
Clean 😲👍🏼
great idea

But then you'd be out of a slice of bread. This method wins

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