Carefully with a punch from the back side... I have the Pit Posse kit. Works very well. The other way to do it is get an expanding anchor bolt, fix it to the bearing inner & hit from the back with a punch. That's basically a DIY of the same method the Pit Posse kit uses....
(Pit posse is a split steel rod that goes into the bearing & then you hit a chisel into the split so it expands and pushes the bearing out).1980 GS1000G - Sold

From the other side, I use a long round chisel with a flattened end, so that it's mushroomed out slightly. It's always been enough to just contact the outer race and move it, then the other side, and so on.
Top Tip: get Koyo if you can. Avoid Chinese ball bearings at all costs.

Another idea. Basically the same principal as the pit posse tool.
$2 Motorcycle Wheel Bearing Puller: The shop wanted $50 a wheel to change out the bearings. The internet wanted $60 for the tool to do it. I knew there had to be a better way. The official name for this tool is a 'mandrel bearing puller.'

I've used the mushroomed chisel method too. If stubborn, remove seal if present use a little penetrate overnight, little heat they will pop right out. Good advise on bearings, I would also advise to get sealed bearings, they dont go dry until there dead.Current Rides: 82 GS1100E, 00 Triumph 955 Speed Triple:twistedevil:, 03 Kawasaki ZRX1200, 01 Honda GL1800, '15 Kawasaki 1000 Versys
