How to Remove a Pilot Bearing Flywheel with tissue paper or cloth

Описание: This video shows how to remove a pilot bearing from a flywheel using a cloth or bulk toilet paper or tissue paper
instead of an expensive puller. We use a toyota 3l engine as our example but it will work just as well on other engines. This procedure will work not only on pilot bearings but pilot bushings as well.

Removing a pilot bearing from a flywheel using tissue paper or cloth is a common technique that can help to avoid damaging the flywheel or other components. Here are the general steps involved:

1. Remove the flywheel: Before removing the pilot bearing, the flywheel must be removed from the engine. This may involve removing other components, such as the transmission, to access the flywheel.

2. Clean the area: Use a clean cloth or rag to clean the area around the pilot bearing. This will help to prevent any dirt or debris from getting inside the engine or transmission.

3. Insert tissue paper or cloth: Fold a piece of tissue paper or cloth several times to create a thick pad, and then insert it into the pilot bearing hole. The pad should be tight enough to create friction against the bearing, but not so tight that it gets stuck inside the hole.

4. Tap the flywheel: Use a hammer or mallet to tap the flywheel on the opposite side from the pilot bearing. The force from the tapping should push the pilot bearing out of the hole and into the tissue paper or cloth.

5. Remove the tissue paper or cloth: Once the pilot bearing is removed, use a pair of pliers or tweezers to carefully remove the tissue paper or cloth from the hole.

6. Clean the area: After the pilot bearing is removed, clean the area around the hole with a clean cloth or rag to remove any debris or residue.

It is important to use caution when removing a pilot bearing with tissue paper or cloth, as excessive force or improper technique can damage the flywheel or other components. If you are unsure about how to remove a pilot bearing from a flywheel, it is recommended to refer to the manufacturer's instructions or consult a qualified mechanic.
