dont just try to pull it out, you have to wiggle it out. Also, make sure you have pliers that have little semicircles on each side that when you close its a circle around the bearing. Another thing is grab the pliers toward the end so you have more leverage. I hope I helped

You shouldn’t be using furry little mammals to get your bearings out, you’ll get fur in them.
