Awards 2015 (Cont.) The Side Draft 5
Awards 2015 (Cont.) Short Tech Tip of the month from the Masked Mechanic. To remove a brass GM pilot bushing in the crankshaft without expensive tools use a 5/8 X 3 course thread good grade bolt. First tap the bolt into the brass bushing, then use an impact wrench, the steel bolt will thread into the brass bushing quickly and bottom out in the crank and draw the old bushing out. Wow! Wasn t that quick? For Sale from Carolina NCRS Four OE P255/60/R15 radial tires, Goodyear GT, 1.5" white outline letters, matched set coded MJUT250168.
