Yew, couple of times.
If special puller doesn't work, you'll probably have to dremel it out.

Pilot bearing puller + slide hammer is the way to go. Autozone has them for free with their "borrow a tool" thing. You just lay down a deposit while you borrow it.

I am guessing that you are just trying to remove the bearing?

might be easier to use a bolt and remove the housing from the crank first.

cannot remember the size or threadpitch of bolt needed to remove the housing though.
