206,700 on my 92 pickup

 

To remove pilot bearing: I got a 1/2" wooden dowel (if you put calipers to the dowel, you'll find that it is a little less than .500), and one of my wife's home made flour tortillas. I got the tortilla and started cramming pieces of tortilla into the bore of the pilot bearing. Then I got the dowel and a hammer and tapped the tortilla pieces into the bore, added some tortilla, tapped it in with dowel, repeat process until bearing comes out. It truly is amazing how easy it was. Once the bearing is out, all you have to do is dig the compressed tortilla wad out of the cavity and you're done! I got the idea off of UTube except these guys used sandwich bread. It's the same idea as the grease trick but it's alot cleaner. Also, be careful not to hit the dowel too hard when it bottoms out, so that you don't do any damage to stuff on the crank shaft.

 

1998 4Runner SR5 3.4L Auto, 208K when purchased this Spring, in Canada! That's 208000 Kilometres= 130K miles! I lucked out!

 

odometer stopped at 348,000 k miles

 

277,500 on the '88 4runner and around 279,000 on my 1993 camry dd. 125 mile round trip commute. both still run like champs on the original engines and transmissions.

 

That sounds like a cool trick. It makes sense, but it is something I would have never thought of trying!

 

Wet paper towels. The blue shop kind are best. Then pop bearing in freezer for a while, open fridge, grab a frosty brew, enjoy, remove bearing from freezer, pop 'er in, and go!!
