That's right, I'd forgotten. Russ showed us how screwing the nut back on that 
bolt 1/2" made a pilot out of the bolt while the face of the nut pushed the

I don't think the brush end bushing was bad at all. After all, there is no side 
force except from the flywheel, so virtually all the wear comes at the flywheel
