Nope, now that you've touched it with your fingers it's contaminated and will have a shorter life -- just like the 500w tube halogen bulbs that go in my garage trouble lights. If you touch them, they die.  Go with a new bushing. |

I wouldn't reuse a ballbearing pilot bearing.
Even if you knocked it out by the outer race, it's not worth the risk for a $10 bearing.
A sintered bush can be soaked with oil with the pressure from your thumb and index finger until you see the oil weeping through the porosity of the bush. |

No, you have to take one of your wife's nicest pots, fill it up with about two inches of Brad Penn, heat it up to about 170 degrees on her kitchen stove, you can use your wife's cooking thermometer to check that temperature, then put your bushing in it and cook it for a few minutes. Then pour the oil down her sink drain, and pop the pot in to the dishwasher. You should do all of this when your wife is not home, of course. |

The rule of thumb with bearings or bushings is that it depends on the clutch disc material, not the transmission. An organic disc is very easy on bronze, but a disc that has a sintered material on one side can have dust that will contaminate and wear bronze, so it's best to use a bearing in those cases.

Let's see now, who was it that said, "A man's gotta know his limits ? ..."
