How do I remove the X bearing from the saddle of a mini lathe (7x12)

I need the slide to move just a tiny bit further out (toward the operator) and the part highlighted in red stops the slide. I figure if I can add a little space between the saddle and that bearing part it will work.

I found pictures of other mini lathe were that part is screwed in, on mine there are no screws or anything. Wondering it I should just try to pull it out, or maybe it is threaded in ?

any and all help appreciated...
