Needle Bearing Removal

Trying to get circled needle bearing out of steering gear box housing without damaging it. Any tips?

Hi Truck

Grease the needles in the bearing so they stay there (hopefully). Can you then get a bush slightly smaller diameter than bearing outer and use a press to push it out - best option or lightly hammer the bush to drive it out?

Hope that helps

Along with putting grease in the bearing, can u stuff a rag or something in there to hold the needles in the bearing?
 
I don't think they wanted you to get by without buying a new bearing.
I would try using a punch. Might get lucky.
 
I now realized that I don't actually need it to get the bearing out to replace the seal behind it. Thank you for the tips everyone!
 
OT but an experience, non farm related so I didn't post it above but there were others related:

My first experience with a 2 cycle engine was with a 1955 Scott Attwater 10 hp outboard motor dad bought new and I was running one day when it hit a row of old railroad bed pilings (were cut off
just below the water line at the time and couldn't see them) ran right into one and broke the lower unit in half right at the bottom of the transom pivot bracket.

Figuring it a total loss I decided to hone my mechanicing skills that I was trying to develop at the time and decided to tear it down to see how it was made. Got to the connecting rod of one of the
cylinders, removed the 2 screws, popped the cap and wala.....tiny needles went sailing everywhere....never did find all of them and dad sold it in a box.....of parts. I had been into "inserted" 4 cycle
engines but never a 2 cycle and had no idea what was coming.
