Second hanky’s suggestion.

Some of the parts vendors lend out pullers and specialty tools...

Another cheap/easy way is to take a 5/16-3/8 carriage bolt and grind a portion of the cap/shoulder off (elliptical shape ) so it just inserts into and behind the bearing. Then, take a wedge (screw driver, small chisel etc) and drive it along side the carriage bolt threaded area wedging it in tight and against the bearing.
Take a loop of decent size and length of chain and attach both chain ends onto the threaded end of the carriage bolt. Next, take pry bar, pipe, even a sledge hammer and string it through the chain loop. Use the heavy weight obeject as a slide hammer against the chain in a banging motion. Generally they’ll pop right out.

Pilot bushings,, can be hydraulically pushed off using a simple grease gun fitted tight into the pilot shaft hole...
