I have used a tap that's slightly smaller than the inside diameter of the 
hole, but slightly larger than the i.d. of the bushing. It will thread the 
inside of the old bushing, and should force it out. You can also pry it out 
after the tap is good inside the bushing. Sorry, no help on the size.
Or I have used a chisel to break the old bushing... if it is not brass, it 
should be brittle enough.

I have used a sealer puller, a pick set, and standard screwdivers for this. 
I think what matters most is how careful you are. Seal puller is usually 
easiest for me.

As stated by Jim, use a socket that fits the best for the pushrod... 9 or 
10mm deep socket i think... Remove the pushrod, but remember which way it 
went, the ends may be different. I use a small hammer and long 3/8 extension 
to install the main shaft seal.
I hope all this helps in some way,   Jeff
