    You need a flad edged chisle and strike it like you mean it without hitting anything else, drive the chisle in at the base of the bearing, I take it its a taper roller?

    It will go mate but take care with the alloy yoke bottom.. I know some tricks with them if they will not move, you can weld a lug on the inner to get a grip with a drift if they dont move the other way as the bearing is hardened the weld fractures the shell and they split from the heat then the shell just brakes up and falls away.
