Something like this set, I got one recently on sale for $99.00
They work well.
Here's some on Amazon.ca
Good luck,

The outer races were pretty welded in on my 1100E swingarm so I hit it with a propane torch, then knocked them out with a long punch.Originally posted by johnod View Post

Like others said, heat with a propane torch and then a BFH.
Mine were very stubborn, so I CAREFULLY cut them up with a Dremel and pulled them out after they were mangled. Very high chance of cutting into your swingarm if you do it that way though... I was lucky.Comment
