FYI: I used a 5/8-18 NF tap to remove the pilot bushing in my '54 235" engine. I inserted the tap in the bushing and began turning it. When the end of the tap contacted the end of the hard crank, the tap back the bushing out with no problem.

Play-doh works even better than grease for that- it is thicker, easier to clean up, and won't hurt you if you get shot in the eye with it.

That 5/8-NF tap is the best way I have ever found. It always works and there is no mess! An old mechanic told me about that trick about 15 years ago.
