You can find a special pilot bearing puller, but I've always been able to carefully drive a very small screwdriver or pick between the bushing & housing. Just put a rag in there so the pieces you break out don't fall into the bell housing. To oil the new bushing just put it on one finger, fill it with oil & compress the oil with another finger. The oil will permeate the bearing.
