What bearing on what shaft???

On a narrow front end pedestal I would try to knock it off with a punch or chisel, or if that doesn't do it I would try heating it with a torch, especially if you can knock the rollers off and heat the inner race directly.

if your referring to the inner wheel bearing ,best way is with a good torch,first nick the roller cage and remove the cage and rollers,if you are steady handed start on the outer edge of the race cutting across the race wash it down to the spindle being careful not to cut into the spindle all the way to the back ,you can then tap it with a hammer and punch to easily remove it,trying to heat it up enough to expand it is hard to do because the spindle will also expand and heat up which i try not to do,with a little practice you can cut a nut off a bolt in the same manner and not damage the threads.

Another option to below comments.

Take a punch and knock the roller cage and bearings off of it. Then,take a cut off wheel in a die grinder and cut throught it ALMOST to the shaft,but not quite. Then LARGE chisle in your kerf you cut with the die grinder and "whack" it with a BIG hammer.It should spring open and easily slide off. (Score and break method.)

If the bearing is good, and you want to save it, that bearing CAN be cleaned and repacked right there on the spindle.
