Haha, if anyone else would know it would be you, SBL!
Well, the way I did it was this: I found a washer that could slip over the kickstand but was smaller than the housing, so it rested against that circular plate. Then either use a big c-clamp or channel locks to press that circular plate down into the assembly and while its pressed in, pull the pin on the bottom of the housing out with a pair of needlenose pliers. If you don't have a washer as such, you can use a small nut or something against it.
After the pin is out, everything should slide out.
Good luck.
