extrude

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'squeeze out' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'former lover disrespectful tense inside?' is the wordplay.
'former lover' becomes 'ex'.
'disrespectful tense inside?' becomes 'trude' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'ex'+'trude'='EXTRUDE'

Can you help me to learn more?
