When I tried to replace mine years ago on my 59 TR3A, I tried all the =
usual tricks. I even bought a pilot bushing puller. Eventually I stuck =
my finger into the bushing and found I could move it fore and aft about =
1/8 inch as it was loose in the bore but it hit the back side of the =
flywheel and would go no further. Once I removed the flywheel it popped =
right out.

Afterwards, I measured the holes and the flywheel hole was definitely =
smaller than the crankshaft hole.

Thanks, Dave. Interesting. There seems to be a difference of opinion on =
this subject. But, if the flywheel needs to be resurfaced anyway, it may =
be a moot point. I guess I=E2=80=99ll pull off the flywheel and, if the =
pilot bush still doesn=E2=80=99t budge, I=E2=80=99ll have to take more =
drastic measures=E2=80=A6

Hi Dave,=20

The flywheel does not need to come off.  There are tricks to removing =
the bushing with a grease gun or jamming a piece of bread in there.  =
Forcing something in there will push out the bush.=20

If you are replacing the clutch disc and pressure plate the flywheel =
should always come off and be resurfaced.=20

A quick question: To remove the pilot bushing from the crank, do =20

I also have to remove the flywheel? I've already removed the disc =20
