Changing column shifter bushing?

You can bump the part that's protruding from the bottom. Alternately you could probably use a c clamp and socket to squeeze it out, but you shouldn't have to go that far

The bushing has a hole in it to keep it in place, meant for that pin. I'd have to knock the pin the whole way out and I don't think it's supposed to do that, is it?

To get the bushing on. It has a hole in it for the pin to go through to hold it in. I tried getting a picture of it but my connection is terrible right now. In that picture up top you can see the once orange, now black, bushing at the bottom of the shift lever. It has a hole through it to allow the pin that holds the lever in place to also go through the bushing.

Ok, little advice. Try not to take bushing in and out too much, that hole WILL rip. And I also suggest gluing it in. And mine still wobble after so I did the Torx screw adjustment underneath from the other threads but it all went pretty easy, I just ripped my second hand bushing by fiddling with it too much and had to glue it.

Hey, don't know if you did it already but my silicone didn't hold. Had to pull it out and just pour super glue to hold the bushing into the socket and it's been holding ever since (also the reason I needed adhesive was because my hole tore so it was coming out again)

I didn't end up using any adhesive. As far as I know mine didn't tear at all on the way in. For what it's worth, I paid less than $10 for a brand new bushing on eBay. Seems to have firmed things up a bit. I'll know more once the truck is back to being my daily driver. I just got it inspected yesterday after being off the road since November because of an engine swap.
