Pepé le Pew Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 I allways chisel them out. Thats very easy because they ar so brittle. Sometimes they can be realy thigt and they won't hydraulic out. like Maverik i am a bit reluctant to put to much force on the crankshaft in that direction. Before fitting i put them in engine oil for a day or so. Bronze is a bit porous and will soak it up. I never put grease in the bush because if you then want to mate the gearbox up with the engine there is a good chance that the pinion won't go in because the trapped air can't get out.
