Default Clutch install question?

Hey guys, I'm rebuilding my T56 and installing a new clutch soon in my Formula before it doesnt move anymore lol.

My question is, Whats the safest and easiest way to remove the old pilot bushing, and How do I safely install the new one without "mushrooming" the end the bushing?

Any help is appreciated!
Thanks

I pulled mine today with a expandable bearing puller, then just hammered the new one in with a piece of wood and a hammer. Its a very easy job when you have the right tools.

I went to autozone and rented a "blind hole puller" tool, it came with a slidehammer, it worked gloriously. It was like $100 to rent but you get all your money back when you return it.

As for installing the new one, I just did the same thing krill did, worked like a charm.

socket, short extension and wet toilet paper. it takes longer to get the toilet paper out of the socket than it does to get the bushing out.
