[TR] [NET] Pilot bush -- TR3

[David Friedlander]

Thank you, everyone for all your well-informed and helpful responses!

I have now removed the flywheel and delivered it to the local machine shop
for resurfacing. In the meantime, the pilot bush STILL will not come out of
the back of the crankshaft and I am devising plans to get it to move. I
love when people say, "Do this and it will just pop out!" Riggght....  :- )
