Bill -
Mine was a breeze to get out. It took the set screw out and then took a medium size nail punch and slowly tapped around the collar of the bearing to work it out enough so I could grab it with some pliers to pull the rest of the way out. It came right out. I think who ever replaced it last did a good job with the lanakote because it had a nice layer of grease on the collar so it came right out.
The other solutions I have heard are taking a socket the same size as the collar and tapping with that. Gear pullers and other exotic contraptions. I hope yours is as easy as mine.
