SO you're telling me to tap it and then just pull it out with a pliers or
something or do I need to pull it out with something similar to a pump puller set up?

You get a tap and cut threads into the bushing, then you screw a bolt in and
keep turning it. When the bolt bottoms out, keep turning and it will bring in bushing out of the hole. The bushing threads up the bolt.
