    You have to use a drift and push the distance tube/spacer between them out the way and knock them out from opposite sides :)

    DarkMan has answered your question straight away Walter55. I have done it that way all my biking life and all bikes. Just use the Drift to knock the centre distance piece to one side and then tap the bearings until they drop out. Care is needed with real knackered bearings or badly rusted ones if you use to much wellie you can knock the outer race of and leave the inner stuck and that's a different kettle of fish. If you can move the distance piece enough to get the inner and outer race together then it rocking but I doubt you can so make sure you clean it well around the bearings as to aid removal.
