Brief Description:  Crankshaft drive bushings

-First I installed the little pipe plug that going within the rear crank plug that I installed yesterday. Had to cut an allen wrench and use a socket to drive it since it's several inches down the bore of the crank.
-Then I spent an hour and half trying to figure out how to remove the blasted drive bushing on the end of my crank (see pic). I finally broke the code after 2 hrs of trying to get the right combination of spacers, threaded rods, washers, etc. Then I spent the next 3 or so hours getting them all out....
I don't think these have ever been removed as they were in very tight! Once I get them about halfway out they were much easier, but that when you run into clearance issues on the crankcase.

Now I need to put the new, shorter ones, in. Hopefully that won't be as painful, but I'm not making any assumptions.

Here's what it looked like when I started - these bushings way too long
