The pre-soak is a 24 hour pre-soak. Once in the flywheel you won't be able to get it to absorb enough oil without contaminating the clutch disc. It won't last long and worn pilot bushings are the second most common cause of jumping out of 2nd gear.

A bonifide true "Oil-lite" bushing would have came in the wrapper pre-soaked. Many modern substitutes are raw un-oiled bushings. If you want to avoid a major dis-assembly buy a second bushing from the same source as your first one and heat it and see if oil oozes out of it.
