The service manual says you can use a chisel to start it loose and then pry it off with a screw driver.

Heat it up with a torch and it should drop right off... You'll have to get a new bearing. I turned it upside down and held a torch on there for a while all the way around and it eventually just fell off. If you pry too much with a screwdriver you'll scratch the crap outta the trees
