|  Irish Spring Wins! I beat a stubborn pilot bearing today with IRISH Spring Soap. I read about here 3 months ago and today it worked for me!!!

| Irish Spring Soap? what did you do with that? were you having problems getting the bearing out? I've heard to pack grease in there and then get a punch just small enough to fit inside. When you smack the punch with a hammer the grease pushes the bearing from the inside either way, glad you got your problem fixed

| I used soap instead of grease. It works really well.
