In the absence of a puller, get a thick cloth, a pair of adjustable pliers, and some thin lube. (I use old YYJ thin I still had kicking around)
Put a teeny tiny bit of lube on the inside of the bearing on the post. Lay your thick cloth over the bearing and use the rounded inside part of your pliers to slowly work the bearing off in a rocking motion. The rocking motion allows the lube to penetrate between the bearing inner wall and the seat post. The cloth protects thebearing from the.plierrs. it is how I got the bearing off of my Metropolis. Works well.
And now, thou dost haveth a method most efficient to remove thine bearing from whence it sits! HUZZAH!
