I am rebuilding the rear end on my Recon due to bad seals and fluid leaking but also want to replace the pilot bearing along with all of the other bearings. I have removed pilot bearings in the past on automobiles using the grease method but those bearings don’t have that retaining ring on them. So my question is just how do you remove the pilot bearing on the Recon? Any special tips or tricks will be greatly appreciated.
