They sell pullers for this. They have one at Harbor Freight for like 10-15 bucks.

If you can destroy it, you can get a shaft that is the exact size of the center of the pilot bearing, and pack grease behind the bearing, and hammer the shaft in. The hydraulic action will force it out. Thats how i did mine.
