Over the weekend I took down the transmission and removed the clutch. The
cause of the chatter in my earlier post was a bad pressure plate.
I have got everything apart, but the pilot bushing doesn't want to move,
even after tapping on it using a 5 lb. slide hammer. I don't have a pilot
bushing attachment for the slide hammer, so I was using a bolt head. It
seems like this has worked for me in the distant past, but clearly not with
this bushing.
One guy suggested packing the bushing hole with plumber's putty then driving
in a tight fitting rod (or bolt) to push the bushing out by displacing the
putty. Someone else suggested sending a tap through the bushing and then
using a bolt to pull the bushing out.
Does anyone have any other suggestions, or comments on which method would be
more effective?
Thanks in advance.
