I tore the bread into small pieces and pushed as much in as I could by hand through the hole in the pilot bearing. Once I could get no more in there, I took a 10mm 3/8" drive socket, and a 6" extension, lined the socket up in the hole and hit the end of the extension with a hammer to compress the bread. I didn't have an old input shaft to use for this. I would then continue to add bread by hand after it was compressed and repeat the process until I got the bearing out. Took me about 15 minutes. I tried to use a pilot bearing removal tool, but after 5 tries and it not working, I went to the bread, haha.
