A new Pilot bushing/bearing should come with the clutch kit. That one should be fine to use.

Well you could reuse the old one I suppose, but the Spec Stage 3 kit should come with a new one. If it does (can't see why it wouldn't) then be sure to use that one.

Be sure to lubricate it if its reccommended, bronze ones are self lubricating so no grease is required, but not all are like that.

Good luck.
