I should just slide out. I used a small hooked scribe to slide it out. BTW I thought mine was wore out, but the steering wheel just was not tight. The bearing is tapered and the more you tighten the nut behind the wheel the tighter it gets. So if you have had the wheel off recently, you may have the old "Loose nut behide the wheel problem.
