re the best way I ever found was to tap some threads on the bushing and then run the corresponding bolt or allthread onto it and then pull it out with an inertia puller."

the best way I've found is to use a tap that will just thread in .. and just keep turning. the tap bottoms out in the bushing hole, ( against the engine case actually ) and you just keep turning, and it worms the bushing right out.
