Sorry for deleting much of your post.

If the original setup of the holden flywheel was done correctly, the bush is the standard Land Rover part available from any Land Rover parts supplier like All 4XFour in Kotara or Land Vehicle Spares in Silverdale. (Both NSW)

The bush shouldn't be too difficult to get out.

If you are taking the flywheel off to have it re-surfaced, then it will push out from the back.

Before reassembling the flywheel with a new bush, soak the bush in a tin of gearbox oil and heat it on the stove and then let it cool slowly while it's still bathing in the oil. This will sinter the bush with the oil.

Dry off the bush and insert it in the flywheel. Don' put grease anywhere near the bush as it always gets onto the clutch plate, the oil sintering will be sufficient.

Good luck, keep us updated with pics.

Quigs,
Four Wheel Drives in Melbourne list them in their catalogue. They are good to deal with and usually post pretty quickly.
Cheers,
