When I did my auto/manual swap, I had just as bad of a time.

I used my dremel and the larger of the two sanding wheel attachments. Just sand the bushing down from the inside until it's thin enough to grab with vice grips. The vice grips should crush the bearing by grabbing the portion that sticks out of the hole and just clamping it down nice and tight. Once the integrity of the bushing is compromised, it should come out pretty easily.

The crappy part is the time it takes to sand through the bushing. Took me about 45-60 min. You have to pay special attention to where the dremel is at while you're sanding. You don't want to accidently dremel the inside of the crank hole....cause that would be bad.

And yeah the puller I bought from harbor freight works wonders on the manual pilot bushing. Takes less than 5 minutes everytime, and only cost me 10 bucks!!

Gotta love Chinese importers.
