go and buy some "Mystery oil", yes that is the name of the oil!! Pour the oil into a plastic container then let the swing arm end with the siezed bearings sit in the oil for the day. Then go to this thread and follow the steps on how to remove it. After siting in the oil for a day that should pop right out!!
I hate to agree, but I use Derno's technique along with a big C-clamp. A socket pushing on the bearing, then a bigger socket on the other side for the bearing to be squeezed into. Works like a champ once you get a little tension on everything to hold it together. It's a bit of a juggling act till you can get the clamp tight. Extra hands make it a lot easier.

Why would you use a C-clamp when you have a really nice press a few minutes down the street?
