Marc,
The easiest way to remove the pilot bearing is with a
special slide hammer used for the bearing. A few taps
and it comes right out. To install a new one, clean the
crank shaft area and drive the new one in. I think there
is probably a special tool designed for the task but I
have used either a soft metal drift or you can use the
back side of a socket against the bearing and tap it
into the hole. Definitely grease the bearing and input
shaft before the trany and engine go back together.
