See the flats on the hexagon?
Unscrew that bushing
But you may want to see if there are any set screws preventing the unscrewing - surely they were on the ball enough to not require the saddle to be off the apron

Not intimately familiar with yours, but based on what I see, and knowing how mine came out, I would expect crossfeed screw to just push through toward your wall.
If you are trying to get inside portion of dial off, that ought to be screwed in to saddle, normal thread rotation, righty tighty. However, on my 2H lathe I could not get that unscrewed, be it corrosion on threads, over tightening, not sure. But it was never coming out without destroying it. So I let it be. On another lathe, I unscrewed it no problem.
