Removing needle bearings from sissors

[yellowandfast]

Anybody got any tricks as to how to remove the bearings from the sissors??

I was going to replace them but didnt want to wreck my sissors.

Thanks

A press and a couple of deep well sockets. One socket with an OD that will allow it to push the bearing through and one who's ID will allow the bearing to drop into it.

Hammers work but a press will do less damage.

I second the press idea, I did one of my sleds this fall and it was not exactly easy even with a press, the needle bearings came out in powder form, it was the rest of the bearing that was hard to get out. I added grease zerks so that in the future I wshould never have to do that again. Just a couple shots of grease and done with.
