I can't figure out if that is part of the crank or that is the pilot. It gouges pretty easily; and when you hit it with sand paper it gets brownish. It also feels like bronze rather than steel.

If that is the pilot, I don't see an overlap area where you can do the old grease and rod trick to pop it out. There is also no overalp you could grab with pullers. Anyone have a clue on this?

the pilot bushing is like a bronze color Should thats it dead center in the middle of the crank.

I have no clue how that grease trick would work, mine took some abuse to get it out. I bought a slide hammer and it came out. I think thats the best way to do it. I got it for $15 at harbour frieght.

 

take a hammer and chizzzle or screw driver to it !!!! thats what i did to get it out !!

also replace your rear main seal it looks nasty

 

A few people have seen this pic and told me the pilot is missing, so I was wrong the pilot is not even there. I thought that raised section was the pilot. The rear main is new I chnaged it out already. I accidentally hit this area with some paint overspray so it looks like crap.

I need to build a custom pilot bushing off these specs. Might go buy one of those fancy micrometers.

 

my crank was fush sit you picky back int there and make sure its smooth if it get bigger in the back the thins is still in there
