1956 Chevy 3100 pickup, 235 engine:
After watching a fellow on YT use grease, bread and a big taped bolt to extract the pilot bushing, I gave it a try. Just managed to make a mess. Next, borrowed an extractor tool from O'Reilly, but it wouldn't fit into the hole. Now, I've ordered a pilot bushing remover from Amazon that has rave reviews. Amazon says it won't work on steel bushings, just brass or bronze, but reviewers say it will. So, for $15 I'm going to give it a try.

Near as I can tell this is a bushing and not a bearing, correct? Installation on YT makes it appear it is a bearing.

What are some of your success stories on removal?
