Use a centre punch and work your way round the outside punching it outwards. Works a treat

NO NO NO try the grease method first it requires less effort and if your punch is the correct size it will work

i used soap and a socket. find a socket close to the hole size (14 i think, use a bit of tape to make a better fit) pack the bush and socket with soap. Start whacking the socket into the bush with a hammer adding more soap if needed. Bush should pop out

pack it full of grease, get the input shaft out of the auto, put it in and one good hit, all falls out.
