Bronze distributor shaft gear wear

Engine is in the car and I’m not interested in taking it out right now- has anyone replaced the bushing without taking the engine apart?

If taking the engine apart is the solution then I’m going to get a different cam…without this problem.

Can make up a little slide hammer like the head of a carriage bolt that just fits down inside the bore of the block bushing.

Push it down in the hole then off to one side, then pry the bushing up and out.
