Pilot Bearing Vs Slice of Bread

Removing the pilot bearing from the back of a Ford 302 using a slice of bread and a tight-fitting rod. This trick works on most engines that I am aware of. Basically turns the bread into a hydraulic ram! Just be sure the rod is a really good fit, otherwise the bread will squeeze out around it and not work to press the bearing out. Real cool trick that makes for much easier clean up compared to pumping the cavity full of grease. Also leaves the inside super clean! Attempt at your own risk.
