How do I remove the stock pilot bearing (bushing)?

I'm in the middle of replacing my clutch and was wondering how to get the stock pilot bushing out???

Thanx....

I used the toilet paper method, you just get a little cup and fill it with plenty of wet sopping toilet paper and cram it in the hole, then find a socket that fits in the hole and put it on a extention backwards then smash it with a hammer. After a few hit put more in the hole until the paper pushes it out. At first I didn't think it would work then like magic it started coming out real easy. You don't have to hit it super hard, just enough to force it behind the bearing.

I went to Auto zone and rented one of their slide hammer kits.
Worked like magic
