1st Gen OEM Pilot Bearing Puller

[tom_sprecher]

Before I go and buy one from MazdaSpeed for $87 does anybody have an unit that will work. I have three bearings to pull and have tried some other methods (carriage bolt, jaw puller, etc) but they failed. There just is not a whole lot of thickness to that roller bearing cage to get a grip on.

I will pay rent & shipping.

Thanks,

There are aftermarket pullers that work. Someone posted a pic of their (matco?) set on nopistons a while back and it looked identical to the Mazda piece. Having taken many out in any number of manners in the past I can say the Mazda piece is worth $87 and much more.

Best money ever spent. We are in the Northwoods of PA nobody close to borrow one from, so bought one and as Chris says it MONEY WELL SPENT! Seems like we have used it frequently last few weeks :eek:
