I watched a few YT videos, then saw this post and assumed my problems were over. On my 54 I tried the bread method--no good. Tapped with 5/8 tap, screwed in a long bolt and when it bottomed out, continued turning turned the entire engine over. Cannot imagine that the Amazon tool with grease zerk is adequate. Tried OReilly's tool, but too big for the size hole. Bought a tool from Amazon to screw the bushing out, and cannot move it. I assumed I was foolishly trying to remove the crankshaft flange. Details on a replacement bushing says it is 1.093" OD which is what my bore is. Photo shows that I have damaged and removed a bit of the outer layer of this bushing, but it has not moved one iota. I tried penetrating oil and propane torch, but nothing. Is there any value to heating this with an acetylene torch? I would be afraid of damaging the rear main seal.
