<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">When I tried to replace mine years ago on my 59 TR3A, I tried all the usual tricks. I even bought a pilot bushing puller. Eventually I stuck my finger into the
bushing and found I could move it fore and aft about 1/8 inch as it was loose in the bore but it hit the back side of the flywheel and would go no further. Once I removed the flywheel it popped right out.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">Afterwards, I measured the holes and the flywheel hole was definitely smaller than the crankshaft hole.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks, Dave. Interesting. There seems to be a difference of opinion on this subject. But, if the flywheel needs to be resurfaced anyway, it may be a moot point. I guess I’ll pull off the flywheel and, if the pilot bush still doesn’t budge,
I’ll have to take more drastic measures…<o:p></o:p></p>
