I could swear I remember Boston Bob telling me to use a wad of wet
paper towel (thick spitball consistency) and a close-fitting drift
(he might even have said a close-fitting wooden dowel).  Give it a
good whack on the end with your three pound hammer and the bushing
jumps right out.  I've never done it, though.

It would depend on the bushing not being seated to the full depth of
the hole, unless it's in there very lightly.

Yours,
David
