<VV> Pulling Pilot Bushing

[Cliff Tibbitts]

Smitty, 

I tried that too, but my bushing was so worn that the bolt just spun happily
inside.  I finally had to use Tim Colson's method of cutting it with a
hacksaw.

  Smitty says :  Nothing wrong with using the tap as I have done the same.
But then I discovered that you can use a 5/8 bolt the same way.  the threads
of the bolt will screw into the soft bushing material and twist it right
out.  Almost as cheap as a flea market tap.
