Hi Phantom Blue, I will second Jesters opinion that removing a bearing may damage it. This is if a press is used to remove it as the outer race of the bearing is being pushed out by the ball bearings that are being pressed on by the inner race. Sometimes you can get the bearing to drop out by gingerly smacking the crankcase on a piece of wood or similar non marring surface, but usually the bearing is "glued" in with dried castor. Not trying to start an argument, just going by past experience here
