Installed a new pilot bushing but alignment tool will barely go in and I need a good amount of force to get it in but still only the beginning tip will enter , is the bushing bad / needs a new replacement? kinda rushed it to be fair and was struggling to get it flushed in till I found the right technique, the inside is smooth but the outer lip is a lil rigid. Should I continue to hone it down with sandpaper?, but ya scared to install everything for if the input shaft won’t go in like this. Can use the old bushing on Alignment tool by itself and it enters no problem so not like the alignment tool is shot
