Default My TRX 3.3 bearings

What is the easiest way to get these bearings out of the crankcase without having to buy one of those puller installer things and how can you tell if they are going bad ?
They seem to be spinning very freely inside the crankcase; the engine had about 4-5 gallons put through it before it was history.
One more question how about the ones in the clutchbell; those also seem to be okay they spin freely with no resistance.
I purchased a couple of these for upgrades

Should I go ahead and replace the stock ones with these or just reuse the stock ones if they are okay ?

You could stick the crank case in the oven. 250 to 300 for 5 to 6 min tap out with a WOODEN dowel or spoon. To install them I stick my bearings in the freezer overnight heat the engine again and they should drop right in.
