Rear Axle Removal ...

I'm trying to remove the rear end and am working on the trunnion arm mount (where the bushings go on the differential) I removed the castle nut but the sloped sided washer or nut?? wont budge. I seem to remember that this thing doesnt screw off but is just pressed in. Is this right? Any ideas on removing this short of torching the bushings???

Thanks

so this thing isnt threaded on right? Also if I'm switching rear ends does it matter how the drive shaft bolts onto it (some alignment marks)?

Thanks
