---u can use the heat method for taking out bearing if u r sure it is damage..if not stay away from that.
bro .. the best combination is to use BOTH heat + bearing puller.
bearing puller will still introduce stress onto the bearing inner race. but there is less stress required when the crankcase is heated up.
at the end of the day ... i think u shouldn't remove the inner bearing under ANY circumstances unless to replace it. that's what i do anyway
