use grease and a bolt that just fits into the pilot bearing (M10 maybe). pack grease behind the bearing, and pound the bolt with a hammer. It will hydraulically eject the pilot bearing.
Clutch job woes.

Or you can try the paper towel trick which does the same thing.
Its either that or go rent the pilot bearing puller from the parts store.

Yeah, it'll probably be wet paper towel. Not looking forward to cleaning that out, but so long as it does the trick.
Tried grease. Didn't work. Tried wet paper towel. Didn't work either, and managed to pack it in to about the consistency of MDF. Went and got a better bearing puller, which worked with something jammed in between the jaws of the puller tight enough that it could not come loose. The back side of the bearing was all fubar from the pressure of the grease/water. (The water squeezed out past the bearing race. That thing was in there TIGHT.)
Clutch is in now, everything is working. Now I've got to wait for the break-in period to end before testing out what the stage 3 can do. The one that was in there before was apparently a stage 2, and couldn't hold a 4000RPM clutch drop. This one ought to be able to do that.
