Thank you all for the information, I made a driver on my lathe and pushed out the bushings. The first one I tried didn't turn out as the top bushing was moving good down to the bottom one, the next thing I knew the bottom broke off the distributor.
The next on I tried I heated the casting and made different arrangement on how to block the casting when pushing.
A word of advice, make extra sure to get the new bushing straight before pushing the new one back in place with the driver.
Thank you for the advice from all of you.
