?How to remove inset bearings?

[jaguar]

I want to replace the small bearings to the left of the water pump shaft and the KIPS actuator thingie. Both are set in their own little "well" in the crankcase. Any ideas on how to remove them?

thanks for the idea but last time I looked in my backyard I didn't see any greenbacks growing on my orange tree.
any other suggestions?

well I just looked thru my manual and it is not pictured.
I think there is a small space behind them. They definitely are wobbly and ready for replacement.
I need to take the clutch cover off to figure out a kickstarter problem and then I can see how much space is behind them and maybe make some kind of hook that can be used to remove them.
thanks for the help dude

I MacGuyver'd up a slide hammer, of a fashion, outta whatever crap was lying close to the workbench. Those bearings only have a pretty shallow space underneath them so they can be a bit tricky. Sometimes yelling a few choice words at them helps a little bit...

Good luck!

Heat the case around the bearing and pull it out with two pair of needle nose. With the bike completely on it side, on saw horses, they'll fall out. Heat it don't kill it.

oops, truly sorry for the tpyo and sorry to all offended. It's been too long since McGyver has been on TV in primetime in Oz...

bugger, typo'd it again. That is how we spell it in Australia.

thanks for the tips guys.
With something southern-engineered and some heat I'm sure I can get them out.

Machine shops they have inside out pullers. I use them all the time for blind side bearing removal. You’d need a pair with a very fine tip to get those small bearing’s. I remembered reading, someone this board heating the case. and they came out easily?
