[TR] [NET] Pilot bush -- TR3

[Randy and Valerie DeRuiter]

No problem with an impact wrench for removal.  To reinstall, here is my version of a flywheel locking tool.  I'm unsure of the Churchill Tool number, but note the calibrated on the 2x4 wedge where the flywheel teeth dug in and locked.  Just tap the wedge in the starter hole to immobilize the flywheel, torque down, and remove the highly calibrated tool for later use.

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,

Dave
