My clutch recently went out and I was actually surprised at how I got the transmission out with very few hiccups.... that was until I got to the pilot bearing. The Pilot bearing on my truck is fused to the Crank! I have tried just about everything! I have tried the grease trick and it didn't work, I tried a puller it ended up breaking(Cheap auto zone crap) i have tried chiseling it and even torching it but i can't seem to get it out. I'm to the point where I am afraid to keep trying cause if Damage the crank I can't afford to get it fixed. Someone please help!

I don't have a mig welder but a friend of mine does.

I had the same issue. clean all the grease out. blow it dry. weld a stud on the bearing. hooked my slide hammer on the stud... then use a slide hammer to pull it out.
