I bought a "AC Delco" one from rockauto.com. Any auto part store would have one also but often "China" source. The OEM bearing has a slight rounded edge on the tranny side to help guide the tranny shaft in
I used a Blind Hole puller from Autozone (you buy it & return it loan a tool), work very easy to remove it. Use a wooden dowell ( I used a piece of wood closet dowel) to pound it in flush with crank. DO NOT piund it in deeper. If you have a large brass drift tool that works also. Just don't use a metal socket or hamer as it is just as hard as the bearing and can damage it.

No wonder... I need the blind hole puller. I took the pilot bearing puller and that shizz didn't fit!!!!
While you're there (both the stock and the rear crank) get the rear main seal puller and R&R your rear main seal.
