That's interesting. You have the new style seal collar with the old style bushing. The new bushing has a helical cut groove inside and a slot in the edge for grease to circulate.
To pull bushings I weld a 7/8 tap to a 3/4 X 10 long nut. I screw a long threaded rod into the nut, slide a piece of pipe on the threaded rod and put a nut on the end of the rod. Screw the tap into the old bushing and use this as a slide hammer . It removes bushings quickly with no chance of damage from the saw.
