I ended up reshaping the point on an old cold chisel and flogged the bearing off with that. Once I got it to move initially, it was relatively easy to get it off then. The whole job took me just on an hour to do, removal right through to back together. I took a bit of Ollie’s advise and I put the bearing cones in the freezer for a little while so as to make it easier to knock them in. Worked a treat too.
