Tip to remove any bearing or BB (Only for steel frame):
You destroy the bearing and get everything out of it. It already reduce the force on the outside cage of the bearing/BB. Then you weld (on the surface with a very low setting on the tig, don't go deep) inside the cage to create a drop of metal.
Once the welding done, don't wait and through water to the welding, you will hear the metal moving. To finish, with a hammer and a small cold chisel, you carefully push the right way to remove it. If the bearing is press fitted, you create a drop on both side and from the other side of the bearing, hammer slowly on each drop one after the other.
If you do that properly, it work like a charm with almost no effort.
