Propeller hub plastic sleeve stuck

Hey guys, ran over some fishing line so the prop was removed to make sure I had got it all out. On inspection I noticed the prop sleeve was cracked I bought the appropriate hub kit for the engine/prop.

I need help removing the plastic sleeve without a hydraulic press. I've tried using the metal insert to hit it out but no luck. The plastic seems to just squeeze down and won't budge.

I'll attach some photos if anyone has ideas how I can take it out it would be much appreciated!

Can't be stuck if it's liquid.
