Yea the pilot bushing goes on the motor side in the very center. Its about 3/4" and it looks like just a metal pipe thats cut down.
To get it out, you must get a pilot bushing puller tool (looks like a slide hammer), preferably one that has the screw expanding inside, not the 2 jaw one. I may have a piture of it, but I cant find it at the moment.

Hmm... Thanks Kev... I don't recall ever reading anything about this before when I was getting all the parts I needed and researching to make sure I had all the tools... 
Is their another bushing that needs to go in, or is it the pilot bushing you are talking about?

You need to change the auto bushing to the manual bushing (I'm not sure what the outcome would be if you didn't). I just confirmed with DAVEB that they are different.

Well no vibration yet, but I think I'll go ahead and pull it to change it(Maybe stick in a lighter flywheel).

Thanks for the pic Eric. No one has one of those around here. The tool I was using screwed in and had two fingers to pull it out. All they did was gouge the metal a little bit. The tool itself bent in the center, and gouged the hell out of itself where it screwed in. The support arms also look a bit bent now. Oh well, Im gonna go with it and hope for the best.

Don't worry about it.. if you wanted to get it out I would suggest using a dremal and grinding it out.

A dremel would take FOREVER, and it's not soft steel either... I think the best way to get it out would be to use a butane torch and heat up the outside, and use nitrogen to freeze the bushing, then it would probably just slide out. That's what we used to remove tough seals on helicopters in the USMC...

The 2 toothed one is no good. I woulda told you that from the get go. Anyway, usually pilot bearings are brass or copper if I'm not mistaken. It shouldnt be too hard, but I still wouldnt recommend cutting through it. Find that tool!

Eric, I know the 2 toothed one sucks, but that's all I could find. I'm not trying to remove the pilot bearing, I'm trying to remove the spacer that comes in the auto crankshaft. It's about a 1/2 thick all around. I don't want to cut it for fear of damaging my crankshaft. I'm just gonna go with it for now...
