It should come out with a little (as we say) fazer elbow grease.
A big tip for you when fitting the new one is to use one of these http://www.diy.com/departments/plumbsure...380_BQ.prd
I fitted a new sink last year and the pop up plug waste came with great looking silicone rubber seals that I was sure would work, but after a couple of hours - sure enough it started to weep as they all do down the thread.
I then used the basin sealer in the link, which was supposed to be used without any extra sealant but that too dripped.
So I refitted with the basin sealer in the link AND added silicone sealant in between all surfaces and now no more drips, I think that pro plumbers always use extra sealant because that is the only way to guarantee that they wont be called back with drips.
Dont use the crappy foam rubber washer that comes with the popup waste but instead seat it into a bed of silicone in the sink.
