Then, with a large pair of pliers, twist the exposed bearing and work it out of the bore. Air may be trapped inside the bearing, slightly resisting the extraction. Expect needle bearings to fall out.

Then, place the assembly in the press again, this time pressing against the trunnion. Press it as far as it will go.

Now you can remove the trunnion. Remove the remaining bearing with your pliers as before.
