Been wacking at this pilot bearing for two days, cars got 150k miles and the bearing looks rusted to the crank
got the autozone pilot bearing puller and grinded it down to fit into the bearing and it keeps slipping loose, the rollers from the bearing got ripped out and now i dont know what to do
Dont feel like getting the “blind hole puller”
any advice for a really stuck pilot bearing? can i use pb blaster on it to maybe loosen it a bit?

Blind hole puller is your best next option. There is an oil seal back there, so don't get to creative.

You sure you're getting the puller in there all the way? I suspect you aren't. It's going to slip out of the area where the roller goes, there's a lip behind that that you need to put the tool into and then beat the snot out of the thing. They're in there good and tight.
