Thanks. I saw this video a while back and hadn't really thought about it again. I ran into the same situation earlier this week. I work in plant maintenance and the line was ready to go back up soon. I was trying all kinds of stuff. I was starting to get worried until I remembered this video. This bearing was oxidized bad too. I thought there was no way this could work. I did it and it worked like a charm. You really helped me out of a bind.

This actually worked! Bread is much cheaper than a slide hammer. Made my day

Thank you so much for this tip, I tried it on a pilot bearing that is pressed into a crankshaft, and it worked like a charm! Amazing technique. Grease would never work, it would just be pushed out through the balls without doing anything. Great tip, one of the best I've seen in the automotive world.

Very clever technique, my father taught me that twenty-some years ago. Nice and helpful video, very rare on youtube.

Worked for me, easily got the bearing out. No sweat, thanks a lot.

This freaking works! Thanks for the video. Although I was so excited I told my wife about it and she said oh yeah I've done that before making this highly accomplished mechanic feel dumb but in all fairness she used to rough in electrical on houses and lay tile!

This works 100 percent. You just need a TIGHT fitting bolt, or an old clutch alignment tool works wonders. I broke 2 pullers from autozone, and tried a grease gun...this was the best thing...since sliced bread.

Works GREAT on pilot bearings that are too small for pilot bearing pullers. Also, it’s much easier to fill it behind the bearing with bread than it is with grease.

Sitting here eating bread while watching this vid 😂

This works GREAT. Used this method today came out like a champ

Thanks, this just saved me a trip to the parts store.

I've learned something today. Thank You!

Never saw it done with bread before, cool. The cavity also looks very clean after the bread was out

I tried the same thing with grease and couldn't get it. Watched this video and switched to bread. Worked just like the video! Thanks for sharing! I really appreciate it!

gotta love these old mechanic tricks- thanks for sharing!

Anyone that thinks this might be crazy, it absolutely works. I remember my brother calling me for help finishing up a clutch job on his Jeep. We then realize we don't have a puller for the pilot bushing. I do some quick Googling, find this method, and my brother was like "I don't have any bread." I look over at the remnants of the Arby's sandwich I had lying there and pull the bread from it, and within a few minutes the bushing was out and we were going back together.

Crank shaft under fly wheel bearing open helpful tips , I like sir

Tried it on my sons scooter, was going to buy a set of blind bearing pullers ££££££ but the bread worked great : ) nice vid.

Yep. Works a treat. Just did it to a 1995 G16B Vitara. Didn't even need a whole slice of fresh bread. Thanks very much.

Self raising !

This video just changed my life !

Dude - I owe you a beer! I have been struggling to get the pilot bushing out of my 1950 Chevy (engine in the car, bushing in the crank not the flywheel). Without success I tried two different pilot bearing pullers and even tried threading a bolt into the pilot bushing to use a homemade puller, bushing didn't even budge. I was skeptical when I watched your video, but I was also out of ideas. I ground the threads down a bit on a 7-inch long 5/8-inch bolt to match the ID of the bushing (I could easily rotate the bolt in the bushing but not wiggle it l back and forth). I think I pounded an entire slice in and then switched to a bigger hammer. Low and behold after a few hard blows with the bigger hammer it started coming out! And to top it off now my engine is fortified with 8 essential vitamins! In all seriousness thanks for a great video!

This is brilliant. I'm doing a clutch in two days, and will try this.

there's another trick in a similar vein to this video, extremely useful for loosening or tightening crank pulley bolts: wrap the longest old v belt you have around the accessory pulley that's the shortest distance from the crank, then shove the excess slack in between the pulley grooves and the belt in the direction you need to turn the breaker bar in. you can then loosen or tighten pulley belts without needing any special tools besides a breaker bar, or a floor jack handle on top of a breaker bar.

@@AmosHayes kzread.info/dash/bejne/dIit1c96qLjFnto.html skip to 0:27 though, it has an insanely long intro. when loosening with a breaker bar, try to jerk it, instead of applying constant force. Nuts and bolts are much less likely to break or strip with shock loads, which is why hammering/jerking/yanking a tool that's on a fastener is better than just trying to twist it off like you would a screw cap container.

Brilliant tried my own home made puller waste of time bread and a bolt 15 min had it out thanks for the info keep it coming. Used 1 wholemeal crust

Remove the bread after and tell yo gal to make you a damn sammich.
