[DeTomaso] Pilot Bearing Pull - Success, with a Caveat

[Forest Goodhart]

 That is not enough to be an issue, especially when so close to the center of the crank. Mush on ahead.

   Well, I finally got the recalcitrant pilot bearing retainer to yield
  and come out.  Huzzah!


  However, (see attached pics) I did manage to take a very little bit of
  material off of the crank beyond where the bearing sits during the
  grinding out of the retainer.  Troubling and potentially very expensive
  question: is enough to cause a balance issue?


  Cautiously optimistic in Covington.  Thanks again for all the
  suggestions and encouragement.  I'm glad I didn't have to do this with
  it in the car.
