<VV> pilot bearing

[Geoff Johnson]

Several Approaches.
1.  Pack with grease and put a old input shaft in (old one that wont be 
used anymore)  pound on the end.  The hydraulic pressure will drive it out. 
Another option is to do the same thing with bread.

2.  Get a 18MM Spark Plug thread chaser.  Put it in and turn it.  It will 
thread into the bushing and bottom out at the base of the hole.  Keep 
turning, this will then drve the bushing out.

3.  Rent a Puller.  I did this a few weeks ago.  The one I got was to big. 
Deciding to keep it I ground the fingers that it cathes the bushing with 
down to fit inside it.  Usually these attach to a slide hammer, that is 
then used to pull it out.

Hope that helps!
