Hey guys, I need some advice on how to pull the tourqe converter bushing out of the backside of my crankshaft. The crank is out, which should make it easier. But I don't know how to get it out in one piece so I can reuse it.
I don't think I have pulled one that did not get buggared up. Last time I needed one was 6 years ago. It was only $10. Can you still find them today? I see Advance Adapters has them for $25. Wowzer
If there were any hope of saving it, I'd think you'd use a slide hammer with a hook on the end. Depends on how easily you can grab the inner edge of the bushing. A little at a time, round and round.

In a few of my Chilton's manuals of various makes they suggest using Grease. The idea is to fill the cavity behind the bearing full of grease and then you insert a dowel of some sorts through the center and hit it and supposedly the grease will push it out. Never tried it but it's a cheap idea. Best of luck.

I have seen this done. The dowel has to be a semi-snug fit, but even then grease will SHOOT out of the gap. But it does work!
Couldn't get it out unscathed, elected to slowly cut it with a cold chisel and remove it with a slit cut in it. Trimmed up the damaged edges and installed it. It's suprisinly strong steel so the slit shouldn't bother it... But we'll see. I'm not overly concerned though I drove 20k miles without one so this can only be an improvement!
