There is another way to get it out. The ring on the bottom of the side diff bushings fits over it perfectly. Place that over it, find a socket abiut 3 inches long and that is large enough for the whole center bushing to fit into. Go to the hardware store and buy at least a 12 grade fine thread bolt and nut (preferably on that is threaded all the way) 12MM will the the hole perfectly. Now assemble that with the ring on the back side (rear of the car side) place the bolt through, socket on the other side, and attack the nut. Keep tightening it until it pops out.
Just make sure it's lined up perfectly. Also, I have no idea how you would get it back in.... maybe the same method I said above, but with a much longer handle?
Good luck!
