Hi..
in honor of Bob I would like to add to that video that it is better to
soak the pilot bearing felt dust seal in oil some, rather than install
it dry as stated in the vid, the one  I watched at least.

  somewhere I saw something soaking the felt ring in engine oil.. - some
tech book Makes sense to me.  All seals on turning shafts need to be
pre-lubed after all.
and I always do that, soak it in oil, and it works.
