[DeTomaso] Pulling dash1

[detomasoregistry at gmail.com]

I've heard of several methods for removing the pilot bushing (or bearing).

One is too fill with grease, then tap a dowel (the same size as the hole) into
the hole, and it should force the old bushing out.

Another is to put a tap (tap & die) into the bushing (just smaller than the bushing)
and turn/twist it out.

Both right. I have the bellhouse too. The dash 2 shaft extends out longer. How do I remove
the dash1 pilot bush holder? I already had to order another disc and plate set as you
cannot buy just the disc and the one I aquired is 11 inch rather than 10.5
