Flexplate orientation/Transmission to engine mounting?

i find greese and bread works the best for me .
What about using a Tap (of the correct size) to cut into the bushing and then slide hammer it out? (kind of like how to remove the bushing in the Lower control arm)



I really like this idea...
When all else fails maybe drill & tap a couple 5/16-18s for a puller......
