Does anyone have another method for removing a pilot bushing?
I read in the manual to pack the crankshaft cavity and pilot bushing hole with grease then drive a rod (matching the i.d. of the bushing) into the grease to force the bushing out hydraulically. In case that fails, is there another way I can get the bushing out without damaging it?
Only the very face edge of my bushing is worn, and if I can get it out cleanly I'd like to reverse it and reinstall it...so using a slide hammer to pull the bushing is not a good option. Is that okay, turning the bushing around and reusing it?
Thanks.
