Distributer oiler.

I put a punch in the oil hole as Brent said, then I use a flat blade screwdriver behind the punch to pry it out. This way there is no chance of deforming the oil hole.

Press fit.

Stick a punch down inside the hole after pulling back the slide-cover. Twist the punch and the oiler will/should slip out of the housing.

Were all the oilers the same that were supplied from Ford? I have seen, and thought, that the 31 style had a flip door oiler instead of the pull out style oiler.
 
I have seen Model-A replacement distributors with the flip-door oiler but do not believe they were a Ford product. I have a new in the box version sold by Western Auto back in the day. They basically replaced the spring-loaded pull type oiler with a flip-door oiler as was used on the generators. Oiling these is a bit messier but with a syringe you can fill up the shaft and bushing area with a pretty good shot of oil.
