1989 Ford Ranger Repair Question
Mileage: No information provided.
I can't get the pilot bearing to come out why?
Asked by joe1953Answer
Pack it up with wheel bearing and select a tight fit driver and pound it out-
MEANING---DRIVE (HARD AND FAST) THE TIGHT FITTING DRIVER INTO THE HOLE
IF YOU HAVE IT 100% PACKED WITH GREASE---THE GREASE MUST GET OUT SOMEHOW......SO IT PUSHES THE PILOT OUT
THE MEDIC
ROGER THAT
I'VE EXPLAINED IT YOUR WAY TO OTHERS... REALIZING THEY WERE ON THE SAME TRAIN, JUST IN A DIFFERENT BOX CAR
THEY SOMETIMES DON'T GRASP THE "DISPLACEMENT THING" UNTIL YOU SORTA SHOW 'EM
DOIN' GOOD RAZ?
THE MEDIC
OK
SEE IF THIS HELPS!

KEEP US POSTED ON PROGRESS!
THE MEDIC
what you mean about a tight fit driver what is tight fit driver? the bearing look like it is torn up what i do now.
WHAT THE TIGHT DRIVER MEANS IS---WHATEVER FITS THE "WHATEVER SIZE" INSIDE HOLE IN THE PILOT AND IS TIGHT....BUT IT WILL STILL SLIDE IN THE HOLE
SOME EXAMPLES BELOW
--OF COURSE THESE ARE DIFFERENT SIZES---WE DON'T KNOW THE HOLE SIZE YOU HAVE
A FOOT LONG PIECE OF BROOM HANDLE
A 1/2 DRIVE RATCHET EXTENSION
A 3/8 DRIVE RATCHET EXTENSION
ANY SORTA SOLID ROD
IF NOTHING ELSE---FIND THE PERFECT SIZE DEEP SOCKET....PACK THE SOCKET FULL AND TIGHT WITH TIN FOIL WITH A HAMMER AND PUNCH......NOW IT'S THE PERFECT SIZED "SOLID ROD"........DRIVER!!
IF THE INSIDE IS SLIGHTLY CHEWED UP---DRIVE THE DRIVER IN IT A FEW TIMES TO SORTA STRAIGHTEN IT BACK OUT
........THEN DO THE GREASE THING, AS IN THE VIDEO!
DID YOU SEE THE VIDEO??????

the pilot roller bearing is damaged real bad the roller are missing, but the race part is still in the crankshaft end.
