Just got to work on it last night. With NASA and some family health issues, I have yet again postponed the date of this thing being done.
Went to replace the pilot bearing last night. A 15 minute job that turned into 3 hours of cursing, throwing tools, drills, giving up, going back to it, hitting with hammer and screwdriver, more drilling, cursing more, hammer more, and a lot more cursing.
The damn pilot bearing came out in 9 pieces, the special pilot bearing tool was worthless. Apparently this is a common issue on LS1s...ugh. New Pilot bearing is in, but that is it....
