How do I remove the needle bearings from the swing arm on a '98 Honda CBR600 F3? (Please be detailed)?

Question

Can someone tell me how to remove the needle bearings? I've removed the roller bearings by tapping them out with a rod, but I can't get to the needle bearing cartridge because of a beveled section in the bore. The service manual says to "press them out," but I see no way to do that. A bearing puller only seems to work for the roller bearings & not the needle bearings. If anyone has already done this, could you please reply with a detailed description? Thanks!
