Depending on the composition of the 'rubber', carb cleaner just <might> remove it.

The old carb cleaner, yup. Before my nanny state here (CA) took all the good stuff out of the store, if I dropped a carb part in the dip with any rubber, gasket, or plastic on it, it would come back out without it. Does that stuff your using still stink to high-heaven?1981 Suzuki GS250T

Slide hammer bearing puller, aka "blind hole" bearing puller:
This, or something like it:

Since you likely don't want to buy a puller set and you have access to the other side, you can use an expanding concrete wedge anchor or similar in the center. Get it good and tight then tap the bearing out. Heating the part a bit will help.
I think it would be best to replace that bearing.1983 GS850G, Cosmos Blue.

Nope, bearing is in good shape. Nice and smooth. Besides, it's all back together and back in the bike. Almost ready to fire it up.Current Bikes:

If you have melted an oilseal onto one side of the bearing then you should really replace it. There must have been a reason why you had it stripped to the point of needing to remove the bearing.Comment

Seriously guys, the bearing is fine. I only intended to remove the seals. Never intended to remove the bearing.Current Bikes:

You might not have intended to remove the bearing but after covering it in rubber (to my mind) it's a no brainer. I have scrapped bearings if I have put them down and found they are covered in dust. The crud gets between the balls and the outer / inner race and wears them out in quick time.Comment
