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

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

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