Clutch Install Ok, I think Im finally gonna get unlazy and put my clutch in tomorrow. I was just wondering, does anybody have any tricks or tips to get the pilot bearing out. I have and LT1, so I dunno if its different from an LS1 or not. I know I've heard some kinda "wet toilet paper trick" before, anybody familiar with this or how to do it? Thanks.

Well I just started my clutch install, but I ordered a $19 tool from harbor frieght called a pilot bearing puller, so I'm hoping it will work - havent' gotten that far yet, heck haven't received it or my trans jack yet, so thats holding me up.
I've heard about that wet toilet paper and grease trick, but at least on LS1s people advise against doing it as it can knock an oil plug out of the crank. I don't know if LT1s can suffer the same fate.
