Pilot bushing direction

FWIW, if some dimensions can help, I have these off a 440 Auto crank. The red is the very end of the crank. Consider the 2.120" dim. to be standard for an un-cut input shaft/bell difference.
Your depth may differ depending on the crank end to block dim. ......

If you can, better off to press the bushing in rather than hammering on it. Maybe a good puller can work for that. However you install it, it needs clearance for the shaft. I go for .0025-.004". A bit of grease inside before the trans install.

Lol, way back, for an auto crank, I "turned" down the OD of a standard pilot bushing using a 3/4" shaft, a belt sander fixed in a vise, and a 0-1" barrel mic.
