Step 2: Remove stator cover (will not be reused)
This took some time to rock it back and forth to get it off.
(using a large channel lock and a couple of small hook pullers)

Step 9: Press out the original shaft from the flywheel backplate . (will not be using the old shaft)

Note to Press new pilot bearing into the new shaft end.
Do this before you press the shaft into the flywheel backplate.
(The picture show the new pilot bushing installed already before we press it
into the backplate)
