Freaking brilliant and simple. I totally understand how the wedge of the screwdriver works to apply pressure to the bushing. I am going to remember this method for sure.
Aloha from sunny hot Hawaii:) Sure wish you posted this 3 decades ago. And I thought my dad was a genius for packing the cavity with grease then tapping a close fitting round drift punch to hydraulically push it out. Worked like a charm jus had to deal with cleaning up:) thanks for sharing:)
Filling the pilot hole with grease and driving an extra input shaft which fits snuggly in the bushing backs it out in a timely easy manner but you are already aware of that method also, so to each his own, many more days wrenching to you
Back in the day I used to work on Volkswagen beetles and that’s how I used to get the bushing out. I had an output shaft for aligning the clutch. I would use that also to remove the bushing.
Thanks!!! I was having issues using a bearing puller to remove it and your trick worked! It cost me less than 2 bucks and I didn't use a screw driver. I used a metal bicycle tire lever (used to remove the tires on bikes) and worked better than the tool! Got it off on the first try!
When I was a kid doing this procedure, a old drunk told me about shoving grease in there and using the plastic close fit guide and hitting it with a 2 pound hammer. I thought, that won't work but he was standing right there so I did it. The dang bearing came right out. I learned a lesson that day.
nice improvisation, only problem is that if the hole is blind like a lot of crankshaft pilot holes then no room for the nut to grab, then comes the hydraulic method of packing grease and pound a dowel or some suitable rod into the grease.
I love this solution, this is the best idea, ever. there are many solutions, that involve cutting, drilling, welding making tools, but this one is the best, cause you save time, and you use bolt, nut and screwdriver, that we all have in our shops!!! Thanks for this idea, and thanks for not playing inspirational music
I’ve removed plenty of those over the years. Easiest way I have found is pack the hole with grease, find a piece of wood dowel rod that just fits inside, line it up and give the dowel a good smack with a 3 pound hammer. The pressure forces it right out. Works every time
That's pretty cool, I've always pumped a little grease behind the pilot bearing and put a dowel in the hole and tapped with a hammer, works very well also.
My bolt+nut would shift diagonally and the nut would slip off the back lip of the bushing. So I used a larger bolt and an over sized nut, ground the nut down to the inner diameter of the bushing an thinned it to fit behind the bushing, and finally ground a flat on one side. That worked perfectly.
Brilliant! - oh how we used to struggle...another idea that we used was using a Rawlbolt (expanding bolt used in wall fixings in the UK) and that worked but you had to buy one, whereupon this is by using odd bits laying about in the workshop or toolbox. Great!
You can also pack it full of grease then push a bolt or cylinder in the hole. That will cause the grease to push the bushing out. You might be able to use a bolt and just let threads grab the bushing and tighten to push it out. Never tried that before.
You can fill the hole in the bushing full of grease. Then take a clutch line up tool, or a wooden dowel that fits in the hole tight. Hit the dowel or clutch line up tool with a hammer and the pressure from the grease will push the bushing out.
you can take a short socket and extension that will fit tight in the bushing fill the bushing with grease insert socket hit with hammer out pops the bushing
Take a socket that just fits inside. Attach it to an extension backwards. Pump grease into the bushing hole till full. Put socket end first. Hit the extension with a hammer. Bushing pops right out.

I'm still trying to figure this out, maybe you could. How do you remove a brass type Crankshaft Position Sensor out of the Right side of a 1996 2.2L Chevy S10 after the inner plastic terminal piece pulled out without pulling the engine out? Could your fix possibly work with a U bracket supporting the force?
I've heard of people using grease and a bolt that just fits the hole,(too messy)use white bread without the crust,drive the bread in pushes the bushing right out,simple

Love it when smart people do no-nonsense videos of great tips. Genius!
The smart guy was the one who did this first. Any idiot can learn a simple technique.
It's not often that you come across good tips but this is one.
As a former mechanic, it's very satisfying to find makeshift solutions to a problem when you don't have the "proper tool" for the job.
Probably better than the original tool to remove this
Excellent video for explaining the procedure without obnoxious music. Thanks.
Freaking brilliant and simple. I totally understand how the wedge of the screwdriver works to apply pressure to the bushing. I am going to remember this method for sure.
Just think of all the bread I could have saved over the years with this trick! Great job!
Straight, to the point, perfect. Thank you so much for such a wonderful video!
This looks to be far better than all the ways I've used. Thank You for posting this.
Thank you. This trick worked so well on my car that it took me longer to find a suitable bolt&nut than to get the spigot bush(ing) out.
Aloha from sunny hot Hawaii:) Sure wish you posted this 3 decades ago. And I thought my dad was a genius for packing the cavity with grease then tapping a close fitting round drift punch to hydraulically push it out. Worked like a charm jus had to deal with cleaning up:) thanks for sharing:)
Yup ditto have used a dent puller too..but this looks less destructive
That was always how I did it, very satisfying!
Filling the pilot hole with grease and driving an extra input shaft which fits snuggly in the bushing backs it out in a timely easy manner but you are already aware of that method also, so to each his own, many more days wrenching to you
Done that many a time, always worked too.
Back in the day I used to work on Volkswagen beetles and that’s how I used to get the bushing out. I had an output shaft for aligning the clutch. I would use that also to remove the bushing.
@RustyClam Do you mean an input shaft to align the clutch because an output shaft spline will not fit in the pilot bushing.
Used the grease sometimes but our shop had a puller.
Bread works better
Cool, I usually pump grease into void behind bearing and pound in a wood dowel, less mess the way you show.
Thanks!!! I was having issues using a bearing puller to remove it and your trick worked! It cost me less than 2 bucks and I didn't use a screw driver. I used a metal bicycle tire lever (used to remove the tires on bikes) and worked better than the tool! Got it off on the first try!
That's the simplest clean method I've seen !!!
Friction is often an enemy in the engine world: But not today🙂. Great video.

AND the perfect accompaniment of "Peaceful Easy Feeling" (Eagles) in the background.
A great match for the delivery style!
I have a "Bush", in front of my house... That is a "bushing!" IE, No branches, and not wood. GREAT VIDEO THOUGH! 😛

Thank you, had tried grease and slide hammer to no success and this worked a treat, thank you
I've always used the grease, pilot bearing tool and hammer method. I think I'll use this trick next time, it's a lot neater.
Wet toilet paper instead of grease. No mess
Use crustless white bread,works good
@@gregtipton5347 Thats why its called Wonder Bread.
I might add your method takes longer
I mean the messing around with the nut and bolt and screw driver method

I've pulled a lot of pilot bngs, but this is really good info. You don't allwayz have the proper tools
Thank you very much! I bought a needle bearing puller but that didnt cut it. Tried woth grease aswell but to no avail. This worked!! Thanks!!
A simple DIY pragmatic solution when faced with this problem, I would do that, thanks!
That's pretty cool, I've always pumped a little grease behind the pilot bearing and put a dowel in the hole and tapped with a hammer, works very well also.
thought u were gonna attach Slide Hammer to Bolt somehow > well done, Sir
Nice work! 🙌

Grab behind the bush! 🤣
Edit: that was insane. Great tip!
I did… she smacked me🥴

Exactly. I'm 70 and a retired mechanic. Grease and a pilot, never failed yet. 👍
Yep that's the way.
Wet toilet paper is usually a little cleaner than grease.
No sabes el valor que tienen estas ideas. Gracias
That's one way. I've used wet paper towels and a dowel instead of bread or grease. Less messy and easier clean up.
That is a handy tip. Thank you for sharing.
Irish soap a socket & a hammer , clean job
i am astonished by how fast this worked
Problem solving at its best. Thumbs up.
This is called fixing things without tools. Sometimes it's just what you gotta do to get the job done.
That's one good tip,would have never thought of that 👍👍👍👍
No I would never think of that, thanks for sharing............
I’ll remember this trick, great job!
You can use grease and dowpin
I just tried this. Worked great.
What a great idea. Genius. Thanks for sharing.
I always put grease in and tap a Smooth shaft in, slides out nicely.
I bought the snap on tool 40 years ago maybe thought it was expensive back then can’t imagine price now lol
That looks easier than using bread, but the bread trick does work.
You can fill the hole in the bushing full of grease. Then take a clutch line up tool, or a wooden dowel that fits in the hole tight. Hit the dowel or clutch line up tool with a hammer and the pressure from the grease will push the bushing out.
That was smart. Nice work there me.
Depends on how the crankshaft is drilled wether this will work or not. However it is a good tip for when it can work.
Agreed! But every problem has a solution
Very easy to understand how it works. 👍
ピッタリなサイズ見つけるのに時間が掛かりそう
Not bad, less mess than hydraulicing it out
Awesome idea 💡
Sometimes the simplest solutions are the best.
Fill the hole with grease ,put a socket that fits hole insert extension in the socket backwards,tap extension,pressure pushes bushing out like magic
He’s just showing another way to do it. Grease, slide hammer, chisel obviously work also…
Soap works really well to
you can take a short socket and extension that will fit tight in the bushing fill the bushing with grease insert socket hit with hammer out pops the bushing
fabulous greetings from Sinaloa Mexico
I'm seeing greetings but not much fabulousness
It's good to know, i don't think bushing coming out crooked is an issue.
Great tip, thank you for the video
I don’t even know what that is but, smart!
Take a socket that just fits inside. Attach it to an extension backwards. Pump grease into the bushing hole till full. Put socket end first. Hit the extension with a hammer. Bushing pops right out.
Cool, no need to mix flour with water (grease is messy use flour instead).
Gracias amigo por tu tiempo q Dios Jesús y Francisco t bendigan a vos y a tus seres qeridos !

Thank you!
Thank you fore the tip ❤
Very Good!
A socket filled with grease has worked for me.
Nice job, thanks for sharing
Pack it with grease. Use a drift of the same diameter and hydraulic it out in seconds. Used to do it all the time.
What’s wrong with clean the hall with Grace and bashing a fowl in??
AutoCorrect struck again I meant to say” what’s wrong with filling the hole with Grace and bashing a dowl in!
It's messy and not everyone has the perfect dowel to drive in. This method wins
I have a Snap On clutch pilot bushing puller or I can use an air chisel aswell.
I still prefer bread. Can always eat it when you're finished 😂
Good wark engine
Nice tip!
Супер способ!!👍👍👍
Great idea
Please do you more videos
nice trick/tip
👍👍👍 Great tip. Thanks
Make sure the cranks is not drilled and capped, like the GM LS family of v8s. You’ll punch through the cap into the crank oil passage.
Hell yeah! Thanks Bro💪🏽
Man that's so cool
Gracias hermano 🤙🏻 me sirvió para una Hyundai - Starex año 2019 🫶🏻
Just cool...great idea thanks

You can also fill the hole with bread and use a rod the size of the hole and drive it out it works I've done it
Very clever , thank you
Bread works great
Fan bearing puller is the best for what you're shown heare
I've heard of people using grease and a bolt that just fits the hole,(too messy)use white bread without the crust,drive the bread in pushes the bushing right out,simple
How would you press a new one in without a press?
I dread the bread 🍞 this is awesome!
Pretty cool idea
Much easier way, take a wood dowel same diameter as bushing, fill backside of bushing with grease,insert dowel and one hit with a hammer it's out.!!!!
i will be doing this today ,, smart trick :)
