Not having replaced a Ford V8 clutch in over 45 years and never have done a 351C I had to learn something new. After seeing the new replacement roller pilot bearing and using Forestg's suggestion I was able to remove the old bearing completely. I found an old screwdriver that I used as a gauge. I did have to grind on my new expensive Harbor Freight pilot bearing puller a little to get the fingers small enough to fit the notches. The pictures show the grinding on the fingers of the puller and my old screwdriver.
Thanks, everyone for your input.
