Looking for tool to remove Bearing Shields

[Bunnlevel Sharker]

I use an icepick. Those shields are paper thin.  Dominick

If you stayed in NY you wouldn't need an ice pick , I leave my wine outside

Yeah in NY, they use ice picks for different things. Body found, 125+ holes

Extra wide gap bass worm hook 1/0 to 5/0 sizes. Tie a small length of mono to it and make a perfection loop to loop onto your ring or pinky finger. Helps extract the retaining ring and then if the shield gets stuck, I'll lightly tap the bearing against the handle of a wrench to pop them out. This helps when you're greasing the bearing and need to keep the shields intact to seal the bearing after greasing.

Here we go again .

Please read from the top of the page.
John was asking about a tool to punch out the shields that doesn't come with the retainer.

Not a problem Jonathan

Exacto knife, punches through easy.   There are different "duties" of knife and blade, mine is semi-heavy duty.
