If the insert material is not hardened, the following will work.

Measure the internal diameter of the insert and buy yourself the nearest size bottoming tap. You may have to drill it first with the proper tap drill depending upon how close you are to nominal size for the tap. Get yourself a bolt and nut of that size and make a bushing that has an OD that lands on your crank (or perhaps your flywheel though you may need to remove those ARP bolts) that has a large enough inside diameter such that the insert can be raised into the bushing. Thread the nut on the bolt with a washer under it, put the bolt through the bushing and threaded into the hole you tapped in your insert, and then crank on the nut bearing against the top side of the bushing. It will back right out.
