Ahh yes, the stubborn pilot bushing that's been in there for 20 years or so. I ended up dremeling as much as I could to break the circle, the hit it from the sides with a cold chisel (make sure not to score anything else), dremeling more, cold chisel more, and then vice grips and pulling it out.

We tried the slide hammer but the pilot bushing puller never 'bit' onto the bushing well enough.
