I think that you have to undo the side plates. The bearing cups are pressed into them. With both of them removed, you should be able to wiggle and jiggle the center out.
Unless you are replacing the bearing on the lsd bit, make sure you keep the bearing cups matched up to their respective bearing.

As bart said, just use a pry bar to lever the centre out once you have removed the 2 bearing holders (4 bolts).
