If it's a small bushing, one for a 4mm thread, then yes, you'll need a proper bushing puller to do it. If you are working on lots of guitars, then it's worth the investment. I use mine a fair bit and I haven't ever done any damage to the finish. I'd have a look for either an Elmer or Schatten 'guitar knob and stud puller'.
