Anyone who's converted their 300 themselves, how did you get the insert out of the back of your crank before putting in the pilot bearing?

 

Looking at it last night, I assume that I need a really small puller.

 

Any tips?

 

Cheers.

Never tried on a Z, but I once did it on a Rover V8 engine by using a grease gun. Pumping the grease in forces the bearing out.

Cheers, spoke to Mike at MJP and he reckoned just to whack it with a hammer and chisel then it'd come out eventually. Being careful not to hit the crank though.

 

I love hitting this car with a hammer!
