GPZ500s Front wheel bearing issue please

[Blockheads121]

Hi, I've replaced bearings before so just asking for any tips or knowledge of tools I can use to remove them on the GPZ.
The spacer only moves enough to expose a 1mm lip of inner bearing ring, so I can't get a good enough purchase using a drift to tap them out.
I have read on another forum that a mechanic had a rod of some description with a bent/hooked tooth on it.
Is there such a tool available?
Cheers!

Well, I took the front wheel to a local bike shop with two brand new bearings made in Japan, and they put me a used one in. Drop off and pick up job £25.00.
Same old whirling sound.

Pair a lizards busy robbing thier fellow man, and been at for a while by the looks of it - Should have known better.

I'le have to get another and take to a mates.

You're sure it isn't the speedo drive/cable?

Oops, yeah, it could be.
Old bearings were knackered though, and one of the new replacements felt a bit rough - Slight knock when moving front wheel too.
Mechanic might have damaged it whacking it in - Or he's put an old one in.
I'le unplug it tomoz and have a listen.
