There are several ways to remove the pilot bearing from the crankshaft. The pilot bearing/bushing is used with a manual transmission '''only'''. And it is in your best interest for the bearing to be removed when changing from a manual transmission to an automatic transmission. | There are several ways to remove the pilot bearing from the crankshaft.

| − | Here are just a few ways to remove the bearing either for a new replacement or compleate removal. First when removing the bearing you will be removing the transmission. So, as anytime, when doing these changes be safe and have the vehicle properly secured when lifted in the air, if you do not have a lift. Be sure to use the proper jack stands for the weight of the vehicle in question, and, if possible, have someone there with you while performing the work. Please do not place vehicle on blocks of | + | Here are just a few ways to remove the bearing either for a new replacement or compleate removal.

Vehicle needs to be on a good level surface. After the transmission has been removed and cleared from the vehicle, you will remove the flexplate/flywheel. Then, if you look at the end of the crankshaft, you will see the bushing. It is where the shaft of the transmission will ride when installed. The nose of the shaft sits inside the bearing. Now you can either rent or buy a puller for this. It's a small slide hammer puller with fingers on it that you will place in the bearing and use it to pull the bearing out. If you do not have access to a puller here are a few other ways of removing the bearing. | Vehicle needs to be on a good level surface.
