How do I get the pilot bearing out? It's stuck. :( 200 1985

posted by  someone claiming to be Josh Q on  Mon Dec 22 16:02 CST 2003 [RELATED]

SO I have everything ready to put the clutch/transmission back on my wife's '85 240 wagon. The only problem is that the pilot bearing is stuck on there GOOD. I used penetrating oil (that has worked on everything for me before) and let it sit for 30 minutes. I tried to pry it out, prying from one side, then the opposite and doing that for each side of the bearing. I did take the snapring out (sprung out and hit me in the freaking eye). I can see that it wants to move out because when I pry on it you can see a tiny bit of movement in the penetrating oil around the bearing. I tried to rent a puller to get it out but no one seems to carry one small enough. Any sugguestions would be great. Thanks.
