[TR] [NET] Pilot bush -- TR3

[DAVID MASSEY]

 Sure,why not.  Or you can stick a long bolt in one of the transmission attachment holes and use a screw driver to engage a tooth on the flywheel the push back on the rotation force.  This is a technique you will need when you reinstall the the flywheel.
I've seen a little device that bolts to the block that has a tooth/protrusion that does this.
Oh, here's one, a flywheel locking tool:

Since the flywheel/crank rotate when I try to loosen the flywheel bolts with a ratchet wrench, is it permissible to use an air impact wrench to loosen them or is that not a good idea?

A couple ways to remove bush..... If you have a wood dowel the right size.  Fill the hole with grease and then jam dowel into bush. The pressure of grease behind bush should push it out.  Another way is to find a thread tap the right size for inside bush and wind it in. The tap will bottom out in flywheel and pull the bush out.  If you have a small seal puller with the outside facing arms that could work if there is room for fingers to get behind bush edges.    Just a few of many ways.    See ya, John B.

Good morning listers!

A quick question: To remove the pilot bushing from the crank, do I also have to remove the flywheel? I've already removed the disc and pressure plate but the pilot doesn't seem to want to budge....
Thanks for any insights,
