Grab a pair of needle nose pliers. There should be a circle near the pivot point. Put that around the bearing and give the bearing a firm, but not crushing, squeeze. WIGGLE and ROCK the pliers back and forth until the bearing comes off. Just pulling on the bearing wont be enough.

That should work, if it doesn’t, you can try putting the yoyo in the freezer for ten minutes, then try to wiggle the bearing off. The aluminium will contract faster than the steel of the bearing, making it easier.
