I got the pilot bushing installed today. I was going to use a socket to help tap it in, but I didn't want to chance mucking it up. I saw a YouTube video where they used a harmonic balancer puller tool from Autozone and it worked very well. One issue was this kit did not have the correct bolts/threads to work with my flywheel (Bolts are 7/16 x 20tpi). I went to Home Depot and Lowe's, but they only had them up to 1 1/2 inches and that wasn't long enough. Then I went to a local bolt shop (Double D Bolt) and picked up a couple that were 2 1/2 inches ($1 each). Next issue was the bolt was a little to fat to fit through the pulling tool slots, so I had to use a file to soften the edges in the slots - not much though. After that, all worked great.
