    I didn’t watch the vid but I can tell you that the wet toilet paper and bolt method works 100% on a pushrod 302

    I'll have to agree. The 5.0 pushrod, like in the 87-93 (probably more) have a 2 piece pilot bearing. If they don't get pushed out as 1 piece by the bread, the inner will come out first. I don't think there is enough clearance behind the outer part of the pilot bearing (because it bottoms out against the crankshaft) to have the bread grip and push. You'll notice there are 2 notches on the outer piece of the bearing which I can only assume are specifically for a pilot bearing removal tool. I recently changed my bearing and rented the tool from Canadian tire with a slide hammer. Even with the notches the removal tool slipped past a couple times.

    If bearing is in good shape but a lil dry, much rather give it a squirt of grease n free up the rollers vs subject the crank and bearings to blows from the slide hammer.
