Thanks for the feedback.
What I wound up doing is:
1. THere is a narrow slot above the bearing such that I could insert a couple 0.020 brass strips that provided a place for a wood dowel to push against after I heated up the case with a torch. Was able to pop out the bearing.
2. To put the bearing back in cut a round disk from 1/4 inch ply and used this to push against to pop the bearing back in after heating up the case. Had to heat up the case fairly hot but it is back in and does not appear to be damaged.
3. Will run the engine this weekend and see if it is OK.
