I'd say weld all thread to it and use a slide hammer.
The newer improved version of this part has a few holes drilled in it so you can make a puller, and a drain hole so as to..... not channel all leaked oil directly into the clutch.
You can buy a new one, or just put a lot of holes in yours while you can. |

Agreed its a retrofit that's pressed in.

The right size shaft collar and a puller perhaps? I kinda hate the wiggle it out idea because it needs to fit snug when it's put back in.

Aftermarket press in (pound in with hammer) tube..... Wiggle it up and down and sideways till it comes out....
It's so you can use late TO bearing on early trans...

That's a first for me. All the TO tubes I have seen are three bolted.
I'm spit balling here. Perhaps if you heat the tans case a little around the seal area, the metal will expand a bit and release it's grip on the tube.
Kind of the reverse of installing a crank timing gear, just much cooler temp.
