Use pliers, but don’t pull straight out. Gently wiggle back and forth and it should work its way off. Just be sure not to damage the bearing; be patient. I often put something between the pliers and the bearing to protect it. Another way is to put a 1/4 inch dowel in the middle of the bearing and wiggle that back and forth (only works with the axle out). ---
