SUPER EASY pilot bushing removal tip
I am in the process of converting my '69 C10 to automatic from a 3 on the tree. Here is a VERY simple way to remove the pilot bushing WITHOUT the greasy mess.
5/8" tap( I used a fine thread 'cuz thats all I had)threaded all way through and out it comes... clean out the shavings,and you're DONE....5 minutes tops. Good Luck. -Lance

Re: SUPER EASY pilot bushing removal tip
Good tip... Most people that work on these old trucks have taps.
Someone here used the same technique using a bolt. That's what I used many years ago but a tap might work better if it's really stuck. |

Re: SUPER EASY pilot bushing removal tip
Now I am going to be putting in a new bushing 'cause I decided to keep it manual and eventually get a muncie or T-10.("...oh the drama!" my wife says)
