🔧 Cal-Van Tools 31 Pilot Bearing Removal Tool Review

Tool arrived as expected. No problem. The pilot bearing has been removed from the crankshaft. 4.0 liter six-cylinder Jeep Wrangler. 1998 Standard 5-speed gearbox. No questions or complaints. Many Thanks

I might be able to substitute something with this advice if I need to use this tool again.

Application - Pilot bushing on a small Chevy engine block. This tool was useless to remove the bushing. Didn't stick to the sleeve, kept slipping out. The tool never broke, just didn't work as advertised. The "teeth" look like they were roughly cast and never trimmed to ensure a good grip on anything. Solution: Since the guide bushing was replaced, I didn't care what condition it came out in. A 5/8" threaded bolt that cuts into the pilot bushing. In the end, when it hit the bottom, it slightly…
