The nice way is to tap the bushing and the thread a bolt through it, as
it bottoms out it will press it out.

The way I do it... I use a large screwdriver that almost fits the bushing
and then I hammer it in, and twist out the bushing.

Either way you do it, stuff an oil soaked rag by the flywheel opening, to
catch any metal shavings.
