Find a shaft the same size as input, pack pilot with grease and slip the shaft into hole and whack with hammer. The hydraulic pressure should pop it out.
If not, Azone will rent you the puller to get it out without too much fuss. Just a deposit til you return the tool. The cost is actually FREE.

Just need a slide hammer to actuate it.

This is my method too. Trail_Rider used an extension, which is what I do. I'll wrap electrical tape around it to build up the diameter a little and make a better seal, right at the transition from the square drive and the round shaft. The seal doesn't need to be crazy tight, just enough to keep the grease from oozing out when you hit the shaft. Also, the better you pack the cavity, not leaving air pockets, the better this works.

I just tried this grease method. Only i used a bolt witch was a tight fit it threaded in but i still couldnt keep the grease in. And i even hit the bolt around to see if i could wiggle it out but nope. Dont know what else i can do its gonna be a while before i can get a tool

You need to re-read the last half of post #2.... With a bearing, that will be your best bet...

Alright i owe a big thanks to everybody. I wrapped a 1/2 in extension with electrical and duct tape and i pounded the sob in there and it started sliding out. I couldnt hardly believe it. So a big thanks to all. Also would it be a good or bad idea to leave a little grease in there to keep the shaft and bearing lubed. Just wondering. I know it can cause clutch slippage if it gets on the disc or pressure plate.

The replacement bearing usually comes with a touch of lubricant in it. I usually just take a small dab of wheel grease and smear it on the pilot of transmission shaft.
You don't want a bunch of excess grease flinging around and messing up your new clutch. Clean all the extra out of the crank and just a dab will do.
