Hi Wallydog
Seeing that you already have the flywheel off, to do the job, I would be making a puller out of bits and pieces, I wouldn't try heat in this case and nor would I hit it out.
If it is too tight to wind out with an arrangement of threaded rod, nuts and spacers, trot yourself into a electronics store and get a pressure pack can of freeze spray, spray some inside of the bush, get it cold enough and it will just about side out.
great stuff for freeze branding a number on a single cow in the dairy herd also.

G'day Wal,
On my S1, I turned up a drift on the lathe and set the flywheel on top of the anvil, with two 100 x 100mm pieces of timber supporting the flywheel as close as I could get them to the bush. Gentle tapping with a club hammer knocked the old bush out quite easily.
I take Arthur's point about not hitting a cast-iron wheel but I don't think any damage would be done, as long as the blows were not fierce. My back-up plan was to use my friend's press if the hammer didn't work,
Cheers Charlie
The 19mm spigot is off a V8. I found one at CLR parts. It has the right dimensions. W
Just a little hint when putting the bush back in.
You don't want to have any grease in or near the bush as it will always migrate onto the friction plate by centrifugal forces.
The best way to ensure lubrication of the bush is to get a tin can or similar and fill with engine oil till it just covers the bush. Then heat the tin over the stove for little while and then let the bush sit soaking in the oil till cool or best overnight. This will sinter the bush with the oil, then take the bush out of the oil, wipe off excess oil and let it sit for an hour or so to let any extra surface oil bleed out.
Then you can insert the bush in the flywheel. The oil should assist insertion and will be more than sufficient to lubricate the pinion.

For future reference- the easiest way I’ve found to get out the flywheel spigot in-situ is to find a rod or bolt that just slides into it. Next, pack it’s hole full of thick grease. Finally, place the bolt/drift aligned with the grease-filled hole and belt it with a club hammer. Hydraulic force drives it out.

If you don't want to waste good grease, then wet toilet paper works just as well. That is how I did mine.
