chickenmanq is an unknown quantity at this point
There's two ways to do this, depending on how worn your bushing is.  One is to fill the opening with grease and ram a dowel into it, and the grease pushes the pilot bushing out.  It never worked for me.

There's a tool you can get that is a slide-hammer with two hooks on the end.  When I did mine, I couldn't get both hooks engaged, so I had to pry evenly around very carefully so as not to ram the bushing into the sides of the housing.

You can rent it from Autozone, or just go to a good parts place and ask for a pilot bushing puller.
