| + | If you have a brass or bronze pilot bushing, an alternate method can be used as well. Use a tap and cut threads into the bushing. Then screw in a bolt and bottom it out inside the bushing so it contacts the crank. Then just keep on turning and it will pull the bushing out.Works real well if you have a tap where as you may not have a piece of stock to fit the bearing inside diameter.It is a little safer as it takes the hammer out of the equation. | ||
