At least mines paid for!
I used a real big screwdriver and a real big hammer, than for the one that was fightin me I took the dremel to it. They make bearing pullers but the one I had didn't work too well in the stock carrier.

Find an old socket that's the same diameter as the bearings, put it up against the bearings and hit it with a hammer a few good times...Spraying some WD-40 in there before you start beating on it won't hurt.
I did this with my Houser swinger which has twice as many bearings and it worked like a champ.
This is the easiest, fastest and safest way I"ve found to do it.

He is talking about the swingarm pivot bearing, (u are right?) the best way to get your carrier bearings out, is pull the seals out, and the Get a salamander heat, and get it so hot u cant touch it and then just tap it against a peice of wood, and they will just fall out, When u get them both out, ur new ones will just fall right in, Freeze ur new bearings before u start!
