Awesome ,that's always been the hardest thing about changing a clutch for me but you made it look easy ,next one I do I will use this method ,thank you so much

That worked perfect, Thank you Thomas and thank God for youtube.

Wow, been struggling for an hour on my VR6, watched this - took about 2 minutes. I wet the bread with WD40. Thank you mate!!!!

This technique worked! I read about the grease-packing method and tried it....grease squirted out and onto my face; lol! I thought it was some kinda' cruel joke. Go ahead and laugh. It felt dumb. So I found this video and tried it and the bushing came out after some persuasion and white bread. Thanks for the tip.

Thank you. The slide hammer too 2 hours and no budging. Bread took one minute. Thanks a bunch

F the bread, F the slide hammer, and F the toilet paper method. I tried the TP method (it didn't work), my girlfriend tried the bread method on her car (it didn't work), then resorted to the slide hammer. The slide hammer still took her a long time to get it out. The may actual pilot bushing removal tools (klowny1969 has a video of him using it). It's by far the best way to do it. After the TP method failed I used that, out in no time flat.

This!!! Is amazing!! Didn't have the right tool so was lurking the interweb for a solution. Came across this video and I asked myself alot of questions. Decided to try, and man it works! Had a laugh too! Cheers!🤘🤘

FEBRUARY 23 , FOLLOWED YOU BREAD INSTRUCTIONS, AND Bingo ! Kda had to tap the bearing in a little , then it started moving big time , Thank You ! James

You learn something New everyday. Thanks!

Thank you brother, saved me a ton! 👊👍

In the late 80s I had to replace the pilot bearing on my 79 RX7. It was a nightmare. The pilot bearing is a caged roller bearing. A standard puller made a gnarled mess of it. From there on it was punch and pick. I shuda hired a dentist!. I wonder if the bread method would have worked in this case. Not likely I'll EVER do it again but yours is a good tip. Good video too. Thanks

Unbelievable thank you Wished I would have known this years ago a bunch of times

I can't thank-you anymore dude half hour ago I saw this video am bam half hour later pilot beari g out and I been under this Tru k all effing day thanks again. Thumbed and subscribed and all you tubers Shud as well

Fantastic trick!! Thanks for sharing 👍

Great tip. Thanks very much

Totally legit, Thank you, just removed from a Subaru.

Great Video! First time I have witnessed someone removing one of those!

you just saved me 50 bucks on a bearing puller.. ty ty ty

Thanks.. I just used this method but with wet paper.. and on a sealed pilot bearing.

I have a french car. Should I use french bread? Great video. Of course I just found this video after I went and bought a pilot bearing removal tool made by snap on. It too worked perfectly

Been years since I've done one and I forgot this. Thank you

Busy with the clutch of my Bedford CF. Definively going to try to remove the pilot bearing this way. Heart of the grease, but being underneath the van , could give a mess. Thx, greatings from the Netherlands!

I am amazed thank you!

Tried grease didnt work. Bread worked like a champ! Thanks for the tip

Thanks buddy huge help

Awesome 💪🏼✌🏼thanks

Outstanding! I will forward this to Food Network! I wonder, since we're in the pandemic, if sourdough works best??!!

I used this method on a Toyota 22RE, and it worked like a charm. Just beware what you use this method on. Some cranks have an oil galley plug inside at the bottom of the pilot bearing bore. If you use bread, grease, toilet paper, or something else on a crank so equipped, you might push the plug in. This could cause an oil leak, and require engine disassembly to repair.

You saved my butt. The engine and the transmission havent been mated in years because the donor was a stick shift and the pilot bearing slipped my mind. Even my engine got some hotdog buns on the 4th of july. Now everything is together and in the car!

Hell yes it works. I have a 1995 gmc, and I bet the guy I paid to change my clutch out a couple years ago didn’t replace it. There were no bearings left in it, just the shell...... I tried a wheat English muffin first and packed and pounded tell I couldn’t take it anymore, watched some other videos, wet paper towels I wet some paper towels and they just didn’t feel squishy enough, so I went back in and found some honey wheat bunny bread, nice and squishy😁, it (right away) started coming out, another wad of bread, a couple of smacks, oh yeah baby, another wad of bread , another good smack and it popped out of there 🤛🏼

Well, I came here looking for a solution as I'm figuring out how to remove my pilot bearing. Saw a grease video, looked messy. Came to this one, and I have to say I burst out laughing when u said white works better than wheat. It probably just compacts better, lol. Well, here goes, gonna go raid the wife pantry with my greasy ass hands for some bread. Nice video man.

Does the engine have to be Gluten tolerant? Great video I will try it.

I've used grease before but you bread and looks like it worked .

T thumbs up bro

WTF I just saw a guy pulling a pilot bushing with bread! Amazing haha

I am doing an engine swap on a 91' 350 SBC, there is only a bushing? There is no bearing correct? The truck in video looked like a bushing was pulled no bearing. I Just want to verify that I am correct these 350 SBC's only have a bushing no pilot bearing. THanks for video brother!

I'm having same issue but mine is a needle style bearing and the needles and cage surrounding it all broke in pieces but still the bearing that's left and the race still won't come out I tried bread and also rented a actual puller didn't work either any other ways to getting it out

Question. Does ANYTHING go over the pilot converter? Like a cap. I cant explain it but as i disassembled my block and lifted my crankshaft out..i heard a noise and it looks like the pilot bearing fell out (somehow)...so im ready to put everything back and the pilot bearing wont go in. Its slightly too big. It appears a cap needs to be removed before placing and tapping the pilot in and then the cap back on....i just dont understand how it managed to go through the cap since its too big...its a wierd thing. I just didnt actually see it happen, i only heard the piece fall on the ground

Such an odd solution to a problem, but I bet I'll find myself using this tactic for completely unrelated circumstances, because it is a simple sort of genius.

No fucking way 😂 I'm trying this right now....😂😂😂 I've been jacking around with this for two fricken hrs.

You hit it 12 more times after it was out lmao. Yes this really works people. It's my preferred method.

i suggest using old newspapers then soak them in water and stuff it in the pilot bearing instead of bread. it works fo me
