Just flip the toilet paper over. Kinda like the second week of underwear. Inside out. You're good to go.

Re: HELP pilot bearing
Hammer in some soaking wet toilet paper in the hole of the pilot bearing, it will hydraulically force the bearing out. Sounds wierd but it works everytime, I have even seen pros do this if they dont have a puller. I have done it 3 time on my car without failure. You will be surprised how much TP will go in there too.

He already tried the normal methods as you suggested. He obviously had a very unusual problem. Meccadeth, I am some how feeling your pain 
. You must have a very good neighbor. So, how many times do you have to cut his grass for free?
