Sounds like you are trying to undo the pinion nut....... dont do that if you are just trying to take the centre out.
There should be 10 bolts around the back of the case that hold the Alloy carrier on the back. Undo those bolts and the centre and the alloy carrier will come apart....... maybe with something wedged between them.

agree with Nitro. Plan -- to do jobs- take a look at a workshop manual- easy to buy or borrow. To remove flanges etc you sometimes need a puller- but check a manual before tearing into it.
