With a cross cut tooling notch to remove it.
A pressed in bushing, like in a flywheel use a Slide Hammer Puller. I usually rent/onloan one from the autopart store. I have even made a puller out of a carrage bolt on a grinder. ground the bolt head to fit and grab & a washer on a socket to pull into. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 4,249 "Hey!

There's no cross-cut slot. It does have notches along the inside that go about 1/2 the length.

This is called a spanner wrench. Maybe you can use the whole washer, you didn't say what kind of access you have. Needle nose pliers? retaining ring pliers? New faucet?
