I have not had a chance to try this one out myself but can remember reading a
alternative to this in one of the auto magazines awhile ago. They're method
involved 
finding a steel bar or shaft with an outside diameter very close to the inside
diameter 
of the bushing which your trying to extract (possibly a discarded or maimed
input shaft) You basically pack the cavity in the flywheel ahead of the pilot
bushing with heavy grease (wheel bearing) and hammering the the shaft into the
center of the the bushing force the it out hydraulically.(the compressed
grease imparts equal force in all directions including 180 degrees to the
angle of impact ie "front side"of the bushing.) Again this sounds good in
theory, but at this point but its only a suggestion. All standard disclaimers
apply.

                                         Good Luck!
