I apologize if this has been covered earlier, but couldn't find topic in forum.
In a last desperate effort to get my '59 100-6 on the road before summer ends, I finally tackled the clutch replacement. Your help has gotten me this far.
A long sad story of buying wrong parts, delays in getting flywheel machined and fear delaying the drilling and tapping engine block for rear oil seal. Anyway, I'm on the home stretch. I think?
Now, can any one help with advice in removing and replacing clutch pilot bearing? The old brass one seems a bit worn so I suspect it is advisable to replace, but I don't know how to approach this. Any advice greatly appreciated. Thanks, Eric

Hi Eric,
I've used all of these methods, there are probably others.
1- Take it to an engine rebuild shop & get them to use their puller
2- Use a small diameter inside bearing puller
3- Fill the cavity with thick grease & tap in a tight fitting mandrel
4- Find a tap with a OD just slightly larger than the bearing ID & screw it in
5- Split two sides of the bearing with a small drill or chisel

Sometimes they come out easy, sometimes not. #1 is the easiest. I've used #5 the most often.
