Brilliant! - oh how we used to struggle...another idea that we used was using a Rawlbolt (expanding bolt used in wall fixings in the UK) and that worked but you had to buy one, whereupon this is by using odd bits laying about in the workshop or toolbox. Great!
I’ve removed plenty of those over the years. Easiest way I have found is pack the hole with grease, find a piece of wood dowel rod that just fits inside, line it up and give the dowel a good smack with a 3 pound hammer. The pressure forces it right out. Works every time
nice improvisation, only problem is that if the hole is blind like a lot of crankshaft pilot holes then no room for the nut to grab, then comes the hydraulic method of packing grease and pound a dowel or some suitable rod into the grease.
That's pretty cool, I've always pumped a little grease behind the pilot bearing and put a dowel in the hole and tapped with a hammer, works very well also.
You can fill the hole in the bushing full of grease. Then take a clutch line up tool, or a wooden dowel that fits in the hole tight. Hit the dowel or clutch line up tool with a hammer and the pressure from the grease will push the bushing out.
Saludos Una pregunta, tengo un tsuru le cambie el clutch, pero que crees que al subir la trasmicion la flecha central no quiso entrar en el clutch, y me dijo un mecánico que la punta de la flecha se deforman un poco el astriado, me dijo que con un pulidor y disco de corte, debastara las cejitas que se le vieran, lo hice y a si ya entro la flecha, Mi pregunta es, este desgaste deformación de la punta de la flecha es por el buje piloto, nunca le he cambiado ese buje, esto que te cuento ya me paso 2 veces en el mismo carro, y tuve que hacer lo mismo de
Take a grease gun. Fill the void behind the pilot bearing with as much grease as it will take. Stick a wooden dowel, the size of the hole through the pilot bearing, and hammer it in. The hydraulic pressure will pop the bearing right out.
or ...load the hole with wheel bearing grease, then find a steel round anything that fits the bushing well enough, ...and tap tap tap ...bushing comes right out WITHOUT putting cock-eyed force on the bushing ...that could jam it, and/or damage the bore in the flywheel.
Or you could just find a bolt that doesn't quite fit the hole , cut a notch in it and run it in with an impact, it will cut threads, then bottom out on the crank and the bushing will ride up the threads.
When I was a kid doing this procedure, a old drunk told me about shoving grease in there and using the plastic close fit guide and hitting it with a 2 pound hammer. I thought, that won't work but he was standing right there so I did it. The dang bearing came right out. I learned a lesson that day.
