Installing Pilot Bushing

[burke]

Doing a 350 swap in my CJ and was wondering the best way to install the pilot bushing? Is there a tool? I am just not sure that if i use a rubber mallet and start hamering that it's going to go in square??
Thanks for any input

A brass drift would be ideal, lube the bushing up and slowly work the bushing in with a hammer & the brass drift. I believe you can get brass drifts at Harbor Freight.

I put mine in the freezer for a few hours before hand. A large pipe and a hammer, it went right in.

Ditto on the freezer. I held a block of wood against the bushing and hammered that.
