the title says it all.
ive never taken out pressed in bearings before and the old Cane Creek bearings in my E13 Zerostack are shot. new bearings from Cane Creek are only $10/each.

im sure i can pry them out and destroy them, but is there a trick to getting them out in one piece?

If you can't take the whole thing out to press the bearings out, just tap them from the back side with a hammer and chisel. Go slow and alternate sides so they come out relatively straight.

the inner portion of the bearing wants to come out before the outer edge of the bearing.
