I just changed mine, I had a little bit of a struggle getting the center support off, I tried tapping and a air chisel. Finally, I cut the rubber to get the outside out of the way and used a puller on the bearing housing.

i also have cut the old rubber off.... looks like a puller is what is going to have to happen
