i have used various things to get that pilot bearing out.  the latest and most successful was pilot bearing tool with slide hammer from harbor freight.  I had to put the right fingers into the eccentric shaft and then assemble the rest of the tool.  once it was nice and tight then i used the slide hammer to beat it out. 

The dremal has work for me in the past where i carefully cut a line in the pilot bearing all the way through and bent the metal in on itself to get it out.

If you were a little closer i would pop over and help you.  Unless you are able to bring it down to my house in ortonville.  We could get it knocked out real quick.
