Drill4 small holes in it directly from the back, going toward the front of the motor...one at 12 o'clock, one at 3, 6, and 9.

Now the bearing is weakened, and you can grab it with a vise-grip, and it will crumble and fall out in a couple pieces.

I have done this successfully 3 times, once in the car, twice out...it's a pain, but works.

To determine the depth you need to drill, measure the depth of the bushing, and wrap some tape around the drill bit, so you know when to stop.
