Exactly which bush are you talking about? Can you arrow it on a pic?

its the one in the photo on the top of the drive shaft 3/4 of the way down spline its tight sort of stuck !! need to get this off to slide impellor housing up and off shaft and replace impellor

The plastic/rubber one? Close an adjustable spanner up onto the shaft and smack it with a wooden/rubber mallet a few times-that should move it.

If it breaks I wouldn't worry about it too much. Just make sure there's plenty of marine grease in the joint.

attached photo and 99 percent sure from dodgy memory that its a metal bush!! thats why i thought it should have stayed in casting and drive shaft should have pulled through it! thought it was some kind of guide bush

I still wouldn't worry about it if it's metal-all the bushes I've seen there have been plastic. If it's metal it's probably down to the age of the motor.
