[TR] [NET] Pilot bush -- TR3

[Greg Lemon]

David,

I am glad you got it out.  I have also read the myriad of descriptions of
the thing just popping out.  I have tried and given up on several cars.
However, have never had an issue re-using the old one.

I have a good stock of unused new ones bought with best intentions...
