Bearing removal from armature

[Redterrain]

I bought a new armature and I'm trying to use the old bearings, but having a hard time removing them from the old armature, any tips?
The armature is off a roybi table saw.

Armature bearings are pressed onto the shaft and the fit is very tight. The proper way to remove the bearings is to use a tool called a bearing puller which has two or three jaws to grip the bearing and a threaded press which will slowly force the bearing off the shaft. Here's a picture of a good bearing puller:

If the puller's are the thick at the end you might need a bearing separator. part# 4331 Tools for Tool Repair : eReplacementparts.com
