Those bearings are pressed in, and they are in there tight! I have the good fortune of having a friend, who has a shop, with a bearing press that he let me use.I don't think there is any other way to get those bearings out without wrecking your swingarm.When I was back home I was able to press the new bearings in with a large C-clamp.One trick I learned on this site was to freeze the new bearings for a couple hours just prior to installation.Pretty easy job.

Hey there thanks for the reply.
I have just tapped them out gently and they came out on their own i noticed that on one side of the bearing entrance is larger on one side from what i can tell these should just tap straight in..
