its a lot easier if you just slide a drift down through the middle, at an angle and tap one bearing out. flip the wheel over and tap the other bearing out. no cutting involved.
10 minutes and job done

admittedly swing arm needle bearings can be trickier than wheel bearings, but they are both really simple jobs. stick with the method that suits you best.

I used one of those expanding bolts on ...front wheel bearings I think. Beat on that thing like you would not believe, and finally used a drift successfully. I think the expanding bolt did work, but it was not easy.
