My first base's bearing won't come off. What should i do? (Problem solved)

I received a first base today, and when trying to change the original bearing for the unresponsive one, the original one didn’t come off.

What should I do?

Pull harder! You can use a drill bit (5/8”???) as a bearing tool if you don’t have one. First Bases can be a pain to change bearings sometimes.

Thanks for the advice, but i don’t have any tool of that size and the pliers im using don’t have enough grip to get it off

I usually point people to this video when this question comes up. It’s worked for me …just be careful with rocking it back and forth…do it gently.
