I just went for a mission down the street to a secluded area. I had to get away from my neighbors earholes. In my arsenal I had a g-clamp, vice grips, two really big flatheads, 2 sockets, a screwdriver, two spring clamps (now I think about it...wtf) needle pliers, normal pliers and a 4ac alternator bracket.
It was time to kill the old throwout bearing. I placed the alternator bracket down. The sleeve holding the bearing fits nicely through a little 'fork' type part of the bracket, leaving the bearing caught on this fork. I had a socket that fit on top of the sleeve, but inside the bearing. 2 hard hits with a hammer and it the sleeve fell straight to the ground!
I had a socket slightly bigger than the last one (fits perfect on the inside casing of the bearing) and used it to bash the socket softer and evenly about 30-40 times until the new nachi bearing was all the way down. Job done, approx 6-7 mins. forget about all those other tools! (who needs a specialized bearing puller tool when you have a perfectly fine alt bracket)
