driveshaft bushing

["Watry, Andrew (LNG-SFR)" <Andrew.Watry@domain.elided>]

Mike mentioned using the "grease and fitted shaft" method of removing the
front driveshaft bushing. That works for some things like pilot bushings,
where the bushing doesn't have a bottom and so the grease is pushing against
the thing the bushing is fitted in (in the case of the pilot bushing, the
crankshaft). On the front driveshaft bushing that won't work, because not
only is the location blind (you can't get behind it), but the bushing itself
has a bottom; that is, the bushing is kind of a hat-shaped cup, rather than
a cylinder.  So grease would only be pushing against the bottom of the
bushing, not some solid part of the driveshaft.  It wouldn't help.
