If your looking to remove the needle bearings for the clutch lever in the case then a blind hole bearing puller that can be rented (for free)at autozone worked for me. If your talking swing arm bearings then there are some threads in this forum on those.

Sorry I see now this is in suspension and chassis so now im assuming swing arm bearings...
I split mine carefully with a chisel but I think there was better ways posted.

Which ones? The swing arms can be a bitch. I usually cut them out. They make a small puller for the clutch actuator arm bearings. I never used one. The shifter drum, can be carefully pried out.

Swing arm.... New Project working on. I tried heating and they didn't move at all. One of the sides just had the housing left and no bearings at all....

Sounds like its dremel time & a good narrow carbide to grind a slot in one side of that cage housing.
