ahhh thats what I forgot to get, a manual backing plate, DAM! And yep i got manual flywheel bolts and a freshly machined flywheel along with a brand new clutch.
I bought a manual spigot bush from repco but it is much thinner than the auto one, and will nearly fit inside the auto spigot bush ??
greatt. I tried drilling 2 little holes in the bush and putting some wire through there to pull it out, and the wire snapped. . this is going to be a fun week
Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
this is the way to do it...fill the hole with grease and use a punch the same hole size and hit it with a sledge hammer, the trick is to get the right sixe punch. but since you got 2 extra holes im not sure if it will work
drill a hole in the side of it, then crack it with a screwdriver or chisel and then use some visegrips to pull it out or keep tapping it with a punch or chisel.
This has all been covered a million times before, do some research before you try something like this.

This is a thread I wrote after doing the job.

We were very carful to avoid scoring the bore of the hole, and the manual replacement was a perfect fit.
I think we ran a magnet around to get the bits of bush out. From memory the auto bush is steel, the manual brass.
No, you fill it with grease, and put something the same size as the hole in, so the grease displaces the bush and it pops out.
So goes the theory, but apparently it only consistently works with removing the manual one.
There is no auto bush. It's the stupidest thing that keeps getting around.
The manual spigot you bought from Repco simply goes in the hole in the back of the crank. Done. No $350 puller, no grease, just done. You may need to file it slightly to get it in.
Make sure to put on the manual flex plate, do up the flywheel bolts with a rattle gun, and grease the input shaft considerably.
i tried all the methods described with no luck and found the easiest way by FAR was to drill multiple holes in the bush and then just collapes it and it fell straight out
hey dude if the holes havent gone through, then try the grease, make sure you pack it right up to nearly the top and get airpockets out, get auto shaft and bash it. you need to hit it hard. if you think you are hitting it hard, hit twice as hard! it took me three hits and it was out. but after every hit repack it with grease.
