The last (& only) time I had to change one I asked at the dealer when
I picked the new bearing up, the mech I talked to said he cut them
out. I used a dremil tool and it all went well. That was maybe 15
years ago and cutting the pilot bearing OUT of the crank with the
engine still assembled made a lasting impression on me.
