Lower stem mount bearing?

I am trying to help a good friend out who just got a well used 660 raptor. My question is can anyone tell me how to remove the lower steering stem mount bearing? He did order a manual but it is still on the way. We stripped the bike down to get the frame sandblasted for welding in frame gussets and powder coating. He needs to have it to the sand blaster this week and I was hoping someone could help us out. Thanks.

i think its pressed in but i cannot remember for sure. i want to say i just knocked it out with a hammer and a socket.

We got it out. It has a retaining nut that secures the bearing in but we had to heat it to get it to turn.
