  • GM Part # 14061685 - Pilot bearing

DO NOT USE BREAD OR GREASE OR ANY HYDRAULIC METHOD TO REMOVE THE PILOT BEARING...





That is all.

There is an oil galley plug in the back of the crank. If you put too much pressure on it with one of those methods, then you risk pushing the plug farther forward into the crank and causing an oil leak which could be diagnosed as a rear main leak when it's not.
