Removing spigot/pilot bushing

Featured Replies

Guys,

Misplaced the tool I had to remove this annoying little thing, this weekend I'm put another g'box in and need to replace it.

I read a while back this can be done with grease, a driver and hammer?

If anyone can help would be great, thanks.

Never fails me, I use the clutch alignment tool for this operation. Pack the the area behind the pilot bush full of grease. Pack as much as you can get in there. grease the snout of the alignment tool. You can do this with a plastic tool, no worries, you don't even have to hit it too hard. As a matter of fact, you don't even need the hammer, just smack the tool with the heel of your hand. The bush WILL move.
