Pilot bearing

Pilot bearing
Hey guys so as many of you know I'm swapping an ls into my ef. So I just bought an ACT clutch package. Included was a throw out bearing and pilot bearing. But I have no idea what a pilot bearing is, where it goes and how to install it, I couldn't find it in my shop manual. YES I SEARCHED. If anyone could help that would be amazing!

The primary purpose of the pilot bearing is to give a low friction support for the end of the input shaft of the transmission. The pilot bearing is placed in a hole at the end of the crankshaft of the engine.
I copied and paste the above paragraph from a website. The easiest way to remove the pilot bearing is shove a bunch grease inside the middle hole and use a solid piece round metal that will fit inside the hole of the bearing. After use a hammer to drive the metal rod to hydraulically pop the bearing off. It may a couple times to get the hang of it but it works. Then you can carefully replace the new bearing at the end of the crankshaft.

Not a mechanic by trade. I work on my car time to time. I like wrenching on my 65 Chevelle since it more fun and easier to work on. On the Civic, I try to do most of the repairs on my own but working on a slanted driveway can be hazardous.
The grease method worked on my 91 Toyota 4 wheel drive. A friend of mine show me the trick years ago and I didn't believe it until I tried it.
