Jim,
Pack some grease in the pilot (spigot) bushing, insert a dowel of
appropriate diameter and hit the dowel with a hammer. The "hydraulic"
action of the grease should push out the bushing. Usually works for
me. When it doesn't I thread a tap into the bushing and wiggle it out
with that. I'm sure there are other remedies forthcoming.
Good luck,
Dave
