So I have an issue removing the pilot bearing. I was going to use grease and the 11mm socket to force the bearing out, but the bearing housing is so mangled that half of the back is gone (and ball bearings...). Does anyone have any suggestions that does not involve buying a puller?

I was able to get it out with paper and water (via YouTube). Took 3-4 pieces of normal printer paper and a lot of time! Attached is a pic of the pilot bearing, missing a few ball bearings..

Cool. Got a link to the video?

You can borrow the bearing puller for free at auto zone btw.

From my experience be sure to not bang your socket/socket extension in too far. It was a pain pulling it out.

Maybe next time I'll borrow that puller haha
