Do you guys use bread as a tool?

Yeah, Bread...
I have even used donuts! I had to remove the pilot bushing in the 383's crank today. I machined an old wheel stud the size of the ID of the bushing, packed bread in there and popped it right out.

Ive heard of this. Never done it. I used a blind bearing puller.

It works well and is much cleaner than packing it full of grease!

yes, I have found that grease can actually trap air (which will compress) and the bread lets the air escape but will not compress. I have even used a donut before (no kidding)

I've used bread a few times. No mess to clean up afterwords and it works great!

Yes I learned this trick when I first was working on cars. Didn't believe my friends dad. He also bet me 20 bucks to take a bite of the bread after we got it out. I was young but not stupid.

I have a screw-in tool with a grease fitting. With an air-powered grease gun it takes about 60 seconds to screw the extractor in, hit it with the gun, and have a bushing in my hand. If wiping some grease out of the back of the crank was the worst thing I had to clean up it was a seriously easy day. No beating, banging, yanking, or bits of mess around. One of the best $10 I ever spent. I wish I had more chances to use it it works so well.
