Going to take the leadscrew out tomorrow and check it but I want to change the bush whilst the thing is stripped. What's the best way to remove and replace the bush? Is it just hit with something heavy or more technical?

The left hand one is a simple press fit - at least mine does not have a retaining pin. You need to make a stepped drift to remove and refit them. With respect - just stop, have a good look at it, and think, before you start sawing, hitting and splitting.
