what is the the best / safest way to get the barrings out of a 350x swing-arm?

As heat and beat seems to work for most...a standup press is the superior tool for all bearing issues.

OK thank you for the tip!

IMO you should not use heat....

For hammering out the bearings, I use a long 3/8's extension with a socket on the end just small enough to fit in there. Works a lot better then a punch.

To press them in I use 3/8 threaded rod, stick it through, washer and socket the same size as the bearing on the side you want to press in, with a nut. On the other side use a bigger washer and socket so that it will work as a press and pull the bearing in, put asocket on the nut and tighten away... Perfect press.

Great idea. You sure your not from the South?

Nope, just a guy who can't afford proper bearing pressers. :)
