Can ordered up a bearing puller from Reel Speed. Or as I do for stuck in bearings (because I havent wanted to commit to the price of the puller) I dremel out a slot in the bearing and the use a flat head to pry it out.

Make one of these and see if you can get the bearing out.

I think I also used 2 small jeweler's screw drivers in each slot and pried up at the same time

Well, in case anyone is wondering, I haven't got around to it yet. I might try doing something tomorrow.
