Purchased 8 3/4 rear I need some help

Some of it came out with a screwdriver the rest is stuborn

Look at the heat affected zones on the inside. It looks like that's where the perch is welded. Either way, there is a bare spot in between the two blue-ish HAZs. Might be an indication of a cold weld in that spot. Not sure if it matters though since I'm not a pro welder. Maybe someone else can chime in on this???
