Here's how to pull needle bearing out of the spindle with a blind bearing puller. They are a tight press fit so if you don't have the correct tools to do this I suggest taking them to someone who does.

I cut mine out with a dremel tool.
My little puller couldn't handle it and got bent.

I should add that they press in fairly tight also. I would not recommend driving them in, the cages can bend easily. I proper press plate and steady pressure is the best way. You could do it with a socket of the correct diameter and a vise, but be careful.

HF slide hammer with flange nut to spread the fingers. Worked great. Seal driver and a light peck to reinstall.
