Go to O'reilys and borrow their pilot bearing removing slide hammer. That's the ideal approach.

Wow this is the most reponses I have ever gotten for a question...LOL
Thanks they are all good and should work great..
Now I just have to get the GM bushing to fit in the crank.. and dial in the lakewood bellhousing.... get the shifter in the correct location.... have a drive shaft made.. figure out the cross member to hold up a GM T-10....
Thanks...

my buddy called me up cause he ripped up the tool to remove the bearing and I told him of the good ol grease method and he thought i was nuts but he got it out in 5 minutes compared to the last two hours with the tool.

Thats what I was thinking that after 42 years in there it might be a bit tough to remove!!

Fill the hole with grease till its spooging out. Then find a bolt or rod or something that fits inside of the bushing. Smake it with a hammer. The grease compressed and forces the bushing out. It probably will take a few swings and packing more grease in the hole each time....
works for me every time...

I used wheel bearing grease and a wooden dowel. It took me longer to grind it down on the bench grinder to fit the bushing than it took to get it out. If I was to use bread I would use 12 grain……its healthier for you |
