when removing a pilot bearin without th proper tool:
1 wet tiny pieces of paper towel and shove them behind the pilot
2 repeat step 1 alot
3 take a small socket and extention just slightly smaller than pilot bearing hole and hammer into the hole
4 repeat step 1 as the paper compresses
5 pilot bearing pops out.
works great
another tip... cocain would have probably been a cheaper hobby than cars
