Is there a screw in the bushing, or a taper pin? I removed a taper pin once -- real pain unfortunately!

I have watched that tutorial and seen the tool. Mine was a taper pin and I got it out by heating it a bit then tapping it out, it didn't give me too much difficulty fortunately! I was hoping I wouldn't have to buy the tool cause I don't want to wait and its $35! Call me cheap but I just thought maybe someone might have another solution. Thank you for the suggestion!
