[Tigers] flexplate motor to flywheel

[Smit, Theo]

I have a jar of pilot-bearing-removal paste that I've created for the sole
purpose of removing pilot bearings... haven't had to use it for years now, but
it will work the next time I have to do it.

Just get some wheel bearing grease (about 1 oz), and then take small wads of
paper towel and mix them into the grease until you have a very thick goop.
Push as much as you can into the end of the crankshaft; then get a bolt (or
clutch pilot tool) that has an OD of the same size as the ID of the pilot
bearing. Tap it in; if you bottom the tool then remove it and put in more
paste, and repeat. The bearing will come out, and the paste is thick enough
that it doesn't splatter - it should not even be able to force itself past the
bolt.
