  There is (or at least there was on mine) a set screw that goes through the
outer housing and into the bronze sleeve that holds the cutless bearing.
  You did loosen / remove the set screw, right?
   The cutless bearing is a press fit into the housing. If you have access
to a press, it should come right out. If not, fashion a punch out of a piece
of pipe or something just wide enough to engage the inner bronze sleeve
(that houses the rubber) and small enough to fit into the outer bronze
housing and TAP it out using a heavy hammer.
Good Luck,
