You need to be careful when driving in a pilot bearing that the driving socket only contacts the outside of the bearing. If it presses on the inside, it will ruin the bearing. Sounds like that may have happened. To get it out, stuff grease in the hole, then take a dowel or metal rod about the same size as the inside diameter (ID) of the bearing. When you have enough grease in there, put the rod in the ID and tap it with a hammer. The grease will push the bearing out. You may have to add more grease if the rod bottoms out.

As far as flywheel bolt torque goes, look back a few posts on this thread. I posted a copy of the FSM page that tells you all the specs on that. I believe it's 30-40 nM and then an additional 90 degrees. AKA very, very tight. New bolts should be used if the waists are smaller than specified.
