Hello,
If you wind up going the destruction route to get it out, don't overlook using a Dremel tool with a grinder or cutter tool on it. I've found that in the right applications, using this means of cutting can save lots of frustration.
Good luck

Bob.

Use a flat bottom tap that fits the ID of the bushing and proceed to tap the bushing. When the tap reaches the bottom of the hole the bushing will be pushed out.

Hope this helps Tom R.

Get a bolt or short piece of shaft the same size as the pilot shaft, fill the cavity behind the bearing full of grease, insert the shaft and SMACK IT WITH A HAMMER! Nine times out of ten it drives the bearing out. Driver has to fit fairly tight to work.

Bob, You will probably not believe what I am about to tell you but I have used this trick many times and it always works! First wet down some pieces of rag or paper. Push the wet paper into the hole and fill it. Get a punch or dowel that will easily fit through the I.D. of the bearing. The punch can fit very sloppy in the bearing and still work. Next, strike the punch with a hammer and drive the paper behind the bearing. Continue to add paper to the hole and compact it with the hammer and punch. Eventualy the compressed paper will push the bearing out of the hole.
