    Scuttlebutt on the web indicates folks pack the void behind the bearing with heavy grease or similar and then use a socket, extension, or a turned piece that snugly fits the i.d. of the bearing as a hydraulic piston. Repeatedly driving the piston into the grease will cause the grease to force the bearing out. If there is corrosion, the bearing may have to be cut out with a die grinder or Dremel.
