The spigot in the end of the crank? Pack as much grease into the centre of it as you can then pump it out by tapping a snug fitting piece of steel into the centre.

Apparently you can use wads of wet toilet paper instead of grease and you dont need to be quit so snug. Never tried it though ha.

jib05 and I used bread when were were doing his m50 swap. Was legit! Packed the inside right out and didn't leave any mess at all.

with all the millions BMW spend on R/D, do you think they ever pictured people using : grease, toilet paper, bread to remove a pilot bearing.

I'll give the bread a go.

Make sure it's gluten free bread, wouldn't want the crank getting a yeast infection.
