Get a torch and use some heat and it'll come out..those things are old and dry so need some heat to loosen em up.

If you have one of those u-joint/ball joint presses handy, those are AWESOME for doing those. And pene-fluid and the hot wrench are handy also...

yeah, they wont just pop out. i had to pound out inner sleeve, then cut out rubber part. then make to relief cuts in the outer sleeve so it would break into 2 halves.
