get a cylindrical 'something' as close a fit as you can, poor a load of boiling water over it ( the swing arm ), then get your 'something' into what's left of the bearing, angle it over so it'll bind a bit in teh cartridge shell, and wiggle it.
good luck.

It'll be difficult to get behind it in order to give it a good 'whack' so you'll really need to employ something like a sliding hammer - either bought or DIY
Try soaking in it Plus Gas for a while first
