excuse my newb-ness here

im trying to take the joystick off the controll panel so as to apply a new cpo. i have most of the stick apart except around the shaft theres a rubber bushing with a 4-hole flange around the edge. obviously since its so wide i cant pull the stick up and through. i cant see whats holding the black rubber
 
The shaft is most likey rusted to the metal ring in the center of the rubber grommet. Pretty typical. You can try soaking it in an anti-seize spray, or cut it off and replace the grommet with a new one.
 
Usually after removing e clip at base of joystick it will pull out. The rubber has probably stiffened up and will need wd40 and some heat gun loving. Don't be excessive with heat otherwise rubber will melt and distort
