I removed my clutch and am going to replace it. My flywheel still looks good but i'm gonna clean it up a little bit w/ some emory cloth. I want to replace the pilot bearing but i need to know how to get teh old one out. Thanks for the help.

i would love to get it resurfaced however i cannot break the bolts loose being it is only me working on the car. Can i rent this 'bearing puller' or do i have to buy and how much $ if i do have to buy? thanks for the info.

You can also remove the pilot bearing by packing grease into the hole until it forces the bearing out. This takes more time than using a pilot bearing puller and makes a bigger mess too. You can rent a puller from autozone or advanced. If you have an air compressor you can use an impact to remove the flywheel bolts. Its a good idea to get it resurfaced.
