I have not tried it on a bearing, but for a bushing, this worked for me.
Do you have a metal clutch alignment tool?
If so;
Fill the cavity about 5/8 or more full with wheel bearing grease.
Insert tool.
Tap on the clutch alignment tool with a hammer, a brass hammer is advisable.
Add more grease as needed & repeat.
The hydraulic pressure will start the bushing to move out.
Been a long time, but it always worked for me.
This was the standard way to remove pilot bushings for the last 100 years.... Works really well...
As an ad here, IF you use a pilot BUSHING, NEVER lube it with anything... Bushings are self lubricating and lubing them can cause clutch chatter.... Been there done that.....
