I'm getting a new pilot and throwout bearing with my clutch kit, what tools do I need to be able to remove/install these items? I've never done any work with bearings before. ****, I don't even know where or what those bearings are either (never done a clutch job, done just about everything else).

Thanks,
Dope

Removal: Pilot Bearing Puller, rent it at Autozone for free.

Install: Bushing/Seal Driver or use an appropriately sized socket to drive it in.

The bearing puller from autozone didn't work for me, we took the smallest gear puller we had, removed 2 of the 3 arms from it and used what was left on a slide hammer. It came right out.

And I used a chisel, notched my pilot bearing on either side (and the needle bearings fell out). I then jammed the AutoZone puller in to the pilot bearing, turned it a little, it grabbed, and I yanked it out.

search tools of the trade for posts by jmd. That puller is the one you want. :yup:
