I baked all of it and a little whack on a block of wood got all of the bearings out including the tiny cam drive bearing in the cambox cover. It was the easiest to get out even. Heat is our friend with these things. I got the liner out too.
edit: if this engine had a lot of time on it, I could see the cambox bearing being a real PITA to get out. I had a candle and wooden dowel on hand in case I needed to use that trick to get that bearing out.
