Pilot bearing bushing removal without tool (better than bread & grease) G35/350Z

In this video i will be showing you guys how to remove the pilot bearing with out the bearing puller. This method is easier than the bread and grease method too because you don't make a big mess.

Omg you are a freaking genius, I’ve been fighting with mine for 3 hours because it was stuck with rust, I tried this and took it out in a minute. Thank you so much. I used an impact driver btw.

[@Mystical_Zeus]

I have to admit, I though that looked janky as shit but you can't knock it till you try it so I tried watching instead of trying a new food and low and behold I found a gem. Kudos man, you earned it.

[@robertdorr1769]

I was trying to remove the spigot bearing on my 60-year-old MF35 tractor which needed a clutch replacement (bearing had never been previously removed even though I did the clutch 40 years ago). Tried the bread method for a couple of hours but that did not work. Tried your method but initially, it failed to work as the inner part of the bearing kept rotating. I gave up but filled the cavity behind the bearing with a mixture of 33% kerosene and 67% auto transmission fluid and rotated the flywheel to distribute it. Came back 24 hours later and tried your method again, with a different bolt and screwdriver. Did not experience the problem I had initially, and the bearing eased out easily. That made me a happy bloke, thanks!

[@77mRacing]

ABSOLUTE GENIUS LEVEL! Tried the grease method, but only blew the dust shields off, which was worthless. One thing worth mentioning, you have to play around with where to jam the scewdriver in so the bolt doesn't move, but after that, its butta.

[@duhg6059]

I just watched this video after spending an hour and half trying to get my pilot bearing out. .it worked easy and had it out in 5 minutes.. thank you

[@timcope3659]

Worked! Best solution on KZbin! Keep up the good work.

[@easternkidd]

Worked perfect with some old hardware I had laying around. The actual pilot pulled tool would not bite the brown it bearing. Thanks for the upload!

[@reecemartin453]

Took me more time finding the right nut and bolt than this actually took to do! Thanks for this =)

This worked great on my 1948 Chevrolet! Thanks for sharing your ideas!

[@iananderson5972]

Worked perfectly. I was having issues with everything spinning until I introduced an impact gun. Quick clean easy

[@harrish1978]

It worked. Thanks man. I got my rb25det auto spigot bush out after watching this.

[@andrewstewart9589]

Thanks Buddy. Grease method did not work for me but this did on my 2006 Xterra. It's a VQ40 DE. Pretty similar. Lifesaver.

[@lj6976]

Good job ... That worked great and was quick and easy !!

[@oweny7115]

This technique works fantastic. Thank you for making this video

[@Nick41622]

Wow. That's a great idea & as you said it's much cleaner than grease.💯👍

[@billypurdy8581]

A+ method sir, youre the best kinda guy to turn wrenches with

[@midgettiger6389]

This is such a helpful video!

[@airsoftfreaks1000]

Dang! Big brain plays over here! Never done it this way but that had it out in under a minute of wrenching!

[@rb397]

This just worked for me !! Thank you !!!

[@keijopettai]

Worked really well. Cheers!

[@kaneboy664]

Thank you for sharing the great idea. The pilot bearing is one of the bigger headaches of replacing your clutch. Bravo.

[@johndoe-zn9xs]

smart man, thanks. 3:45 am... bout to have to try this. hope i can find the right damn nut and bolt.

[@wefwefwef.]

Many thanks from the uk, helped me sort my 300zx clutch👌

[@icesalami]

do you have a manual transmission? was your pilot bearing bad? what symptoms or sounds was your car having?

[@wefwefwef.]

@@icesalami I bought my zx in oct with a clutch so worn out you could put it in 5th from a stop and it would just sit there lol. Replaced the clutch, had to have the flywheel skimmed a lot from the clutch rivets cutting a big groove in it. While i was in there, replaced the rear main seal, the brass pilot bushing, gearbox seals front and back and the gearbox shift lever arm thing as it was worn to fuck. Its my daily now, does struggle a bit into first and second when the gearbox is cold from being owned by chimps, Ill have it rebuilt for I hope around 800 quid when i go twin turbo next year 🤌🤌

That's awesome, thanks for vid.

Thanks man,

[@lluispmed]

Thankyou

[@daddyethan3938]

Legit!

[@tuxnoel]

The bolt screwed in may damage housing of some machines like ceiling fan body. Hammering candle wax is way better methid.

[@nathanlugo5827]

Hell yeah

[@venkateshchapper1586]

Good idiea

[@lucasd172]

What side bolt are guys using I cannot seem to find the correct one…

[@yuchenliu6939]

First！

[@RobsDIY]

Does this work If the nut doesn’t go over the edge? I have a needle style pilot bearing and looks pressed fully in with no space behind it

[@trumpetvq4453]

then it won't work it needs to grab the bearing from the back

[@mcfriedchicken1972]

Gonna try this after doing the bread method for half an hour. I’ll be back to share results

[@mcfriedchicken1972]

Came out in less than a minute!! Used an an impact instead bc why not. Thanks bro youre a freaking genius

[@icesalami]

the pilot bearing is the same throughout all nissan and infinity manual transmissions. if you changed the title this would probably find more ppl

[@BeauC122004]

Be careful doing this, some motors have freeze plugs on the end of the crank and it’s a good way to push that out!! Check your motor first.

[@w.w.w.4239]

All good until the bolt breaks! I used dremel accessorie #9901. Tungsten carbide tip. Carefully cut at the 3 and 9 o'clock position repeatedly to avoid cutting into the crankshaft. Took 10 minutes with the carbide cutting bit.

[@harrishs8688]

What a legend. Is auto pilot different from manual?.

[@trumpetvq4453]

believe they should be the same

[@jamesbondjr4902]

🤔💯❤🙏

[@user-yj3ff4jc3p]

what made you change the bushing

[@trumpetvq4453]

just maintenance

[@itsjessedrifts3740]

What size bolt?

[@callmesomething1425]

Depends on the inner diameter of the bushing. Watch the video again he explains the nut size requirements in the first part of the video and just get a bolt that fits the nut that works in your application.

[@dh7277]

make sure you use a strong bolt. i broke off the bolt. finally had to dremel out the bearing.

[@trumpetvq4453]

good point bro thanks for the tip

[@ezduzit3348]

what size hardware did you use to get it out?

[@trumpetvq4453]

i think just 12mm ones

[@TeamSLIDEWAYS]

Didn't even look up a video pacific to my car and your still came u nothing in the title about the car either still my car 😂

[@supersabrosinho]

What?

[@felsinferguson1125]

"Big mess" with bread? Not that I noticed when I learned/used that method about an hour ago. I can see the grease variation being a god-awful mess, though.Took about 3-4 minutes to pop my pilot bearing (Which, up until then, had refused to budge, regardless of what I tried) with a slice of bread and the spline-aligner tool that came in the box with the new clutch. The total cleanup afterwards was "stick a screwdriver into the wad of bread in the hole, flick it out (it came out as a single, solid piece - though I imagine it's possible to get over-ambitious and chisel it into a pile of crumbs) pick it up, and toss it in the trash". With your method, I'd be worried about getting the bearing/bushing "cocked" in the hole because of only putting force on one side, effectively locking it in place and requiring driving it back in to get it straight enough to try again.

[@supersabrosinho]

But then you'd be out of a slice of bread. This method wins

[@felsinferguson1125]

@@supersabrosinho Maybe for you - I'll gladly sacrifice a slice of bread for the "I know beyond a doubt it's gonna work" factor. This method may indeed work, but for me, it has too much "hope I get lucky this time" involved.
