I know the picture is really blurry, but which way does the pilot bushing go in? My helm says to install it with a bearing installer tool, and to be careful not to hit the inner race. So, after reading that, I would assume that the side that is up on the picture on the left is the side I want facing out, towards the tranny. Is this correct?

That's the way I put mine in. I used a cheap bearing installer (block of wood and a hammer), and it went in just fine.

The pic on the right is what you should see after it's installed. The slope helps guide the trans shaft into the bearing.

Ok, cool, thanks. Good thing I didn't just guess.
