I got my kid a longer swingarm off eBay for his KX85. The new one had the bearings frozen in place with rust. I soaked them down with liquid wrench and let it sit for about 6 hrs. Then I was able to press them out (with much difficulty) with a big C-clamp and a couple of sockets . You need need one socket slightly smaller than the bearing, and one on the other side big enough that it won't interfere with the bearing coming out. The new bearings slipped right in.
