Doin" the clutch on my SH last weekend, we figured we may as well replace the pilot bearing while we were in there. Tried the grease-n-socket trick. Couldn"t find a socket that fit tight enough, but an old tie rod end slid in nice with a tiny bit of grinding. Even so, the grease just found any little space it could and oozed out instead of blowing the pilot bearing clear like it should"ve. Thankfully I had the foresight to stop off at Harbor Freight and pick up one of their cheapie pilot bearing pullers. Ended up grinding the fingers down so they"d fit in behind the bearing, but after that was done, the puller yanked that bearing out slick as snot. Dad was impressed. I was impressed. The tractor was impressed. Clutch feels great now. So, what was the old farmall mechanic"s trick that I missed to getting the pilot bearing out?
