I had to burn my old ones out with a propane torch, smoky stinky mess

OR

Gear puller works as well

video here, skip to 1:45




Another way is to use a jack as a press, put larger socket over one end, smaller socket on the other end and jack it up against your frame, once it starts to come out you can usually WACK IT OUT the rest of the way
