I'm gonna ignore the use of the spare axle shafts as prybars. Suggest you read prior forum contributions regarding toasted axle shafts and bearings.
As for the pilot bearing, if I understand correctly, it has siezed to the end of the tranny input shaft, and you can move the whole assembly back to the clutch disc. Interesting. Usually, its the pilot bearing stuck into the flywheel. Well, anyway, I agree that heat and PB blaster or whatever works for you is the right track. Using the tranny as a slide hammer sounds too brutal to me. The 2 cents I hereby add is to not worry about destroying the pilot bearing - its a cheap and easy to obtain bearing, current number 7109.
