Bearing removal

[Tim L]

There is a roller bearing on the inner side wall of the upper crankcase. On the outer face there is a core plug filling the hole behind the bearing.
Has anyone removed this bearing and, if so, how did you do it?
I guess the core plug will need to be knocked out from the inside so are the plugs still available?

Many thanks for the link, it all makes sense now.
Is the outer plug part of the bearing?
I think I have found the bearings on the internet but they seem to be open, with no cover on the outside.
Is the part number 93320-31501?
