Maybe dont loctite that bearing in? We used similar bearing in Land Cruisers, long ago. They get pounded a little by the rock in the input shaft when not in direct drive (countershaft side load effect). Once the balls start flat spotting, the pilot bearing sticks. The input shaft tries to spin in the inner race, which welds itself. After the balls break up, you can drive for years.
When its time to get the trans out, you use big pry bars to get the trans(and every thing its now stuck to) out of the crankshaft just far enough to reach in and cut the center out of the disc...or just cut the input shaft off. The center of the pilot bearing will not come out through the clutch disc broach. In your case, you would be able to get the trans off if you can reach the pressure plate bolts.
On the Cruisers, due to wrap around bell housing type, I finally made it the rule to cut the input shaft. It was easier to put out only one fire, under the car, than three or four while I tried to cut all the webs in the disc! I still have scars from gobs of flaming grease falling on my arms. Ahhh, to be young and foolish again.
It all made me understand why GM was smart to use a plain old bushing.
