The interesting suggestion was to use an expsion bolt anchor and screw in a length of threaded rod. Place a weight on the rod and a large washer and nut at the other end fashioning a slide hammer. I went to the Auto Zone and looked at their solution. they had a slide hammer but it would not accomodatethe small pilot bearing. I tried a newer Auto Zone store and they had exactly the correct slide hammer. Got it home and pulled two pilot bearings in about 5 minutes. They lend tools for free. Just put down a deposit.
