For completeness I'll follow up on this now I have a result... the air I detected was not because of any faulty component. Air in the fuel line on the right/pump side of the engine (it is almost impossible to bleed in the OEM configuration) is trapped there and does not clear by itself. The...
Appreciate your thoughts, thanks. It appears (yeah been wrong before) as though the air is coming from the engine-driven fuel pump "end" and not the filter/manual-lift-pump "end". I will loop up some clear hoses at each site to create some high points and gather a bit more information. I'm going...

My 3-arm internal bearing puller wouldn't quite catch on the internal lip on that bushing and just kept coming out. I ordered the right size expanding-collet and made up an adapter to fit it on my slide hammer.

The bush is too large to press into the end of the crank as-is. The bush is correct (well, I have a couple ordered off the VIN from Nissan since I wasn't sure one came in the clutch kit and...
