Also, if you pack the inside of the bushing with grease and then fit a slightly smaller diameter bolt inside, you can then tap the bolt in, forcing the grease to "hydraulically" push the pilot bushing out. As the bolt goes in, pack a little more grease, tap it again, and you should see incremental movement of the bushing.

The grease method works great most of the time. I've had good luck with sockets that are slightly smaller than the diamter of the pilot bushing. Just put an extension on it and hammer it in and the grease pops it out.
