There is a really easy and amazing way to remove the bearing without a slide hammer. The link below is where I got the idea. I tried it and it worked within 5 minutes. Forget the expensive slide hammer and do it the old Macgyver way. You need toilet paper, a water bowl, a punch or dowel of diameter slightly smaller than the bearing inner diameter, and a hammer.

Gradually soak and jam the wet toilet paper inside the hole. Use the dowel and hammer to pack it in tight. Once it's packed in, repeat until the bearing pops out.

Basically, what happenes is that when the volume is packed the additional tp has nowhere to go when pushed in, so it pushes the bearing out to make room for itself. AMAZING! You can imagine a liquid being jetted into a cavity and recirculating doing the same to understand the principle. In this case, the tp acts like a solid-liquid hybrid. Try it out.
