I am having trouble with getting one of the bearings out of the swingarm. The bearing is broken out and just the outer part is in there. The lips have broken off what is left of the bearing. I've heated it up and have been using a punch and a hammer to try to pound it out. It's just the one side that I can't get out, the other side came out easy. Anyone know any tricks? I'll be PB blastering it all this week and won't be working on it til the weekend.
 
see if you can spluit it with a small sharp chisel.. once you get teh outer race to split it'll come right out.. or you can whittle away at it with a hacksaw blade

I may try that... I tried a hacksaw blade for a couple minutes. Didn't even leave a mark. BFH is usually the solution for stuborn stuff on this bumble bee build.
