Destroy it... Go in from the front and go underneath it and peel it up. It's just a thin piece of metal it folds up easy.
Careful not to gouge the swing arm otherwise you will have to take a die grinder and clean it up alittle.

take a screwdriver and grind it sharp to help get under it to get started but like cel said make sure your not gouging the swingarm in the process. a little mark wont hurt just smooth it out before puttin new bearing back in.

This new steel frame had no bearing races so I had to get some anyway, but all my bikes have the All Balls taper bearings...they are only like $38 and are angled roller bearings like on a car wheel instead of ball bearings. They are less likely to get loose, break, rock back and forth, etc. Just a better design

I took a steel pipe/rod from the opposite side and caught the lip and knocked them out with a sledge hammer - it is a pain in the ass. And def use a socket to tap the new ones in like mentioned above.
